Increasing winds to end weekend
Nov 24, 2024
Cloud coverage began moving in across the state overnight bringing some unsettled weather as we head throughout the day as westerly winds pick up statewide. West winds could gust over 55 mph at times, bringing in even warmer weather. Snow will begin by tonight in the San Juans in southern Colorado, but we’ll stay dry in New Mexico.
As cloud cover persists into 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.
