...EXTENDED PERIOD OF ACCUMULATING SNOW POSSIBLE FOR THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TONIGHT AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK... An active weather pattern is expected through the middle of next week and possibly for the rest of January. A parade of disturbances will pass over northern and central New Mexico beginning tonight and continuing through next Tuesday, with each one bringing successively colder air to the region. A moist southwest flow aloft will set up over northwest New Mexico later today and become stronger tonight and Saturday. While snow levels will remain relatively high, accumulating snow will be possible over the Tusas Mountains, where a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for tonight through Saturday. There may be a brief lull in any precipitation Saturday evening, then accumulating snow is forecast to resume, becoming more widespread over the west and north late Saturday night through Sunday and returning again Monday into Tuesday. Snow levels will progressively lower, as temperatures tumble to below normal values. Warmer and drier conditions are possible around the middle of next week but another storm is possible late next week. Those with recreational or travel plans over the higher terrain of northwest New Mexico this weekend should be prepared to encounter deteriorating and hazardous winter travel conditions. Stay alert to forecast changes, especially regarding additional winter weather watches, warnings or advisories. |
