NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Snowy, breezy, and bitterly cold conditions are the big weather stories with most of the snow south of I-40 causing travel issues with localized low visibility because of not only the snow, but also, from freezing fog, with persistent easterly winds making it feel in the single digits above zero to near -10 degrees occasionally. Moisture with a broad area of low pressure to the west will continue to meet up with the cold air-mass ahead to produce more-widespread snow with still a few areas set to deal with dangerous wind chills. To start across the region from north to south, air temperatures are as low as below zero degrees, in the single digits, teens, 20s, and low 30s.

Below-normal temperatures will persist for most, except for the seasonable afternoon temperatures with drying conditions in the Four Corners. From the morning school commute throughout the afternoon, temperatures will reach into the high teens, 20s, 30s, and low 40s east-northeast to west-southwest. As the jet stream continues to dip to our west with the evolving storm system slowly moving south then east, light-to-moderate snow with chilly rain activity late will become more widespread starting tonight into tomorrow. More southern precipitation in the form of mostly heavier snowfall mostly south of I-40 will partially move back north in areas like the Central Mountains, the Northeast Highlands, the Zuni Mountains, the San Juan Mountains, and even in parts of the Rio Grande Valley with stronger northeasterly winds with patchy fog redeveloping late tomorrow night into Friday morning along the tail end of the storm system. Either way, winter-like conditions will persist for all up until an eventual warming trend with drier westerly winds briefly return later tomorrow before another storm impacts the Sangre de Cristo mountain communities to the east late this weekend.
