Minor winter travel impacts are forecast late today through Saturday morning or early afternoon, mainly above 8,500 feet across western and northern New Mexico. Slick road conditions and reduced visibility are favored along mountain pass routes such as U.S. Highways 64 and 84.
Northerly winds will be brisk and cooler Saturday in the wake of a departing storm system. Localized blowing dust may impact parts of northeast and east-central NM. Strong crosswinds will impact parts of I-40 over eastern NM.
Winds are expected to increase next week, with the strongest winds along and east of the central mountain chain Tuesday through Thursday. This may create patchy blowing dust in the eastern plains and blowing snow in the northern mountains. There is also a moderate chance of high fire danger in the eastern plains during this time period.
Temperatures will remain above normal through the middle of next week. High precipitation chances will be widespread today followed by another potential active period next week for northern and western NM.
