A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect across the Tusas Mountains from midnight tonight to 9 PM MST Saturday. Snow is expected above 9000 feet, with accumulations generally between 3 to 6 inches. Travel could be very difficult on U.S. Highway 64 between Tres Piedras and Tierra Amarilla. Tire traction will be reduced. Extend the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
Snow above 9,000' will generally range 3-6 inches with locally higher amounts up to 8 inches atop the peaks. Slick winter travel will favor the U.S. 64 corridor through the Tusas Mts.
Temperatures will be chilly tonight, with lows dropping into the 30s-40s across much of the region and the 20s across higher elevations.
Showers will move across the south-central mountains and southeast plains late this evening before propagating into northwest and north-central NM during the early morning hours Saturday.
Cooler and wetter weather late through the weekend. Calmer weather returns late Sunday through Monday before the next storm system looks to clip northwestern NM Tuesday.
