Winds picking up Sunday
Nov 23, 2024
It was another warm day with mostly sunny skies across the state. Some unsettled weather will begin to move in on Sunday as westerly winds pick up statewide. West winds could gust over 35 mph at times, bringing in even warmer weather. Snow will begin by Sunday night in the San Juans in southern Colorado, but we’ll stay dry in New Mexico.
As cloud cover increases early next week along with a backdoor cold front, temperatures will be cooler Monday afternoon. A better chance for rain and mountain snow moves into northern New Mexico beginning late Monday night, and this will continue into the middle of next week. There’s a little more uncertainty with how much rain will actually fall in the lower elevations, but places like Farmington, Durango, Taos, and Raton will have the highest chances for rain. While the mountains in northern New Mexico could see anywhere from a few inches of snow to nearly a foot.
Drier weather will return by Thanksgiving Day, but so will the colder temperatures. This colder and drier air will likely continue into next Friday as well.
