Weekend Weather Alert: Winds, Snow, and Cold Temperatures Coming to New Mexico
New Mexico is preparing for a mix of weather this weekend as a series of systems moves across the state. On Friday, gusty winds of up to 45-50 mph are expected in west-central New Mexico, raising concerns about critical fire conditions. As the weekend progresses, cooler temperatures and wetter weather will take over, particularly on Sunday into Monday. Although precipitation totals have been reduced, slick roads are anticipated in mountain areas above 8,500 feet, where snow is likely to cause travel disruptions. A quick, colder system could arrive on Tuesday, bringing light snow to northern mountain regions. Be ready for rapidly changing conditions across the state.
