Late season winter storm this weekend will bring widespread rain and snow. Highest confidence for winter impacts will be in the northern mountains along the Colorado border, areas such as Raton Pass. Between 6 and 12 inches of snow is expected across the Northern Mountains with lesser amounts elsewhere.
A late season winter storm will bring rain and snow to northern and central NM. Most likely total rainfall (or liquid equivalent) amounts will be between one half and one inch across eastern NM with lesser amounts across the west. This precipitation will help pause dust and fire weather concerns.
Gusty winds will accompany a cold front racing southward across the eastern plains and westward through the gaps of the Central Mountain Chain Friday night and Saturday. The gusty winds will result in areas of blowing snow and reduced visibility as well as difficult driving for high profile vehicles.
Much colder temperatures are in store for Saturday. High temperatures will be between 15 and 35 degrees below normal and gusty winds will make it feel even colder.
Gusty southwest winds combined with low humidity values will result in elevated to near-critical fire weather conditions across northeast NM Thursday afternoon.
