Cold Impacts

Arctic air is coming! Frigid temperatures and light snow will arrive Saturday with a second surge of even colder air Monday. Light snow will also accompany. Begin making preparations now!

An arctic front will begin to push into New Mexico tonight, bringing much colder air and snow to northeast NM. Elsewhere, clear skies expected.

Strong winds are likely across western and central NM Saturday, with difficult to hazardous crosswinds possible.

Snowfall will begin to fall over far northeast areas in the pre- dawn hours Saturday morning, then increase in coverage and intensity as a backdoor cold front surges through northeast New Mexico Saturday morning. Snowfall will then taper off Saturday afternoon, lingering in some areas into Saturday evening.

An Arctic blast will arrive Saturday and be reinforced with more frigid air on Monday, bringing several days of subfreezing temperatures and bitterly cold wind chills to a number of eastern New Mexico locales. Plan ahead for how and when to protect people, pets, pipes and plants from these freezing cold conditions.

Surges of very cold, arctic air are expected this weekend and into early next week, bringing the coldest temperatures of the season thus far. Everyone is at risk from the dangers of extreme cold, but some are more vulnerable than others. Check on family, friends, and neighbors!
