...WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...
* WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations between 5 and
10 inches across much of central and eastern New Mexico, except up
to 16 inches above 9,000 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 morning
when much of eastern NM will be in the single digits or colder.
Given the threat of power outages, those in eastern NM should be
prepared for 48+ hours of sub-freezing temperatures.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation. Those
planning to travel Friday through Sunday morning should pay close
attention given the potential for travel impacts along I-40 and I-25.
