... Arctic air on the way for the plains and snow accumulations
possible for northwest New Mexico...

An Arctic cold front will back into the eastern plains of New Mexico
tonight and Saturday. Low temperatures tonight will be in the
teens... with wind chill readings near zero. High temperatures
Saturday afternoon will be up to 25 degrees below normal... with many
areas struggling to break the freezing mark. This will be an abrupt
change to the near normal conditions that have been observed over the
last few days.

On Sunday... precipitation will develop over northwest New Mexico in
the morning and spread southeast during the afternoon. Snow
accumulations are likely across the northwest mountains and
adjacent northwest Highlands. The heaviest amounts are expected
across the west slopes of the San Juan Mountains. Snow accumulations
may result in slick roadways in this region Sunday and Sunday night.

Meanwhile... cold air will remain entrenched over the eastern plains
on Sunday as wintry precipitation develops. There is concern that
portions of the southeast plains... especially Roosevelt and Chaves
counties may receive a wintry mix of light snow... sleet and freezing
rain. Any ice accumulations are expected to be minimal... but may
create slick spots on roadways.

Those with outdoor or travel plans in northern and eastern New Mexico
this weekend should closely monitor the latest forecasts and
statements via NOAA Weather Radio... on line at weather.Gov/abq or
from other internet weather providers... or from your preferred
broadcast or print media source.
