Storm system brings rain and snow to parts of New Mexico
Much of New Mexico is waking up to some cooler temperatures as a storm system moved into the state overnight. This storm will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to western and northern New Mexico through Saturday night. A few isolated showers and storms are also possible around the Albuquerque Metro on Saturday evening.
The northern mountains could even see around 6″ of snow above 10,000′. Meanwhile, high winds will likely kick up blowing dust once again in southern and eastern New Mexico Saturday afternoon where gusts up to 55 mph are possible.
Winds die down Saturday night and the rain and snow will end overnight as well. Quieter weather returns starting Sunday. Winds may still be breezy in a few areas, but much lighter than Saturday. A couple of spotty showers will also develop in northern New Mexico but will be very hit or miss. Temperatures started a warming trend Sunday afternoon that will continue through the middle of next week. Unfortunately, it will stay dry next week though with a slight chance for rain returning in the eastern half of the state late next week.
