THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES SO FAR THIS SEASON WILL BE ARRIVING IN NEW MEXICO BY THE END OF THE WEEK. SOME AREAS OF NORTHERN NEW MEXICO COULD SEE LOWS OF BELOW ZERO ON FRIDAY MORNING. AND NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST DAVID CRAFT SAYS THIS LATEST SYSTEM WILL ALSO BRING WITH IT A LOT OF WIND, ESPECIALLY EAST OF ALBUQUERQUE.
CRAFT SAYS WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PEAK IN STRENGTH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS OF 50 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR ALONG, AND EAST OF, THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. HE SAYS EVEN HIGHER GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE.
THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS COULD SEE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL FROM THIS STORM. SNOW IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN ALBUQUERQUE'S FOOTHILLS.
