Winter Storm Watch
* WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations between 4 and
10 inches across much of central and eastern New Mexico, except up
to 16 inches above 9,500 feet.
* WHERE...Portions of central, east central, north central,
northeast, and southeast New Mexico.
* WHEN...From Friday morning through late Saturday night.
* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult to impossible for an
extended period of time, most notably along I-40 from Tijeras
Canyon to the Texas border. The weight of accumulating snow will
stress the power grid, potentially creating outages. An extended
period of cold temperatures will increase the risk of frostbite and
hypothermia.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Bitterly cold temperatures will also accompany
this winter storm, with the coldest temperatures in the eastern
plains of New Mexico. Temperatures will be coldest Sunday and
Monday mornings when much of eastern NM will be in the single
digits with much colder wind chills.
