ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) Forecasters say much of northern and central New Mexico will get a strong dose of winter weather later this week. A hazardous weather outlook issued by the National Weather Service's Albuquerque office says a potent cold front will move into eastern New Mexico late Thursday and then westward into the Rio Grande Valley.
Winds will be in the range of 25 to 35 mph but with gusts up to 45 mph in eastern New Mexico and up to 50 mph in some other areas by Thursday and Friday nights.
Moderate to heavy snowfall accumulations are possible over higher terrain from late Wednesday through Monday, with light accumulations possible in lower elevations.
