Clear skies throughout New Mexico will allow for plenty of radiational cooling, particularly for valley areas such as Gallup and Angel Fire. This will lead to another cold night, with lows down to 15 degrees below average for this time of year.
A couple of winter systems looks to impact New Mexico starting this weekend. The first system on Saturday has trended towards a more eastward track that will limit most impacts to the eastern part of the state. A second system on Monday could follow a similar track to Saturday's storm, but there is about a 30% chance of a more westward path that would bring widespread winter impacts to a majority of the state.
A disturbance on Friday afternoon will bring breezy westerlies throughout the state. The strongest gust will be over the southern half of the central mountain chain and adjacent central and southern highlands. Difficult crosswinds will create hazardous driving conditions for N-S oriented highways.
