IT WON'T COME CLOSE TO ENDING THE DROUGHT, BUT NEW MEXICO IS EXPECTED TO GET SOME MUCH NEEDED RAIN AND SNOW OVER THE WEEKEND. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST DAVID CRAFT SAYS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN MOUNTAINS COULD GET OVER TEN INCHES OF SNOW BY THE WEEKEND. HE SAYS IT'S NOT ENOUGH, BUT ANY PRECIPITATION IS GOOD NEWS.
PRECIPITATION IN ALBUQUERQUE WILL LIKELY BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN. THROUGH WEDNESDAY, ALBUQUERQUE HAD GOTTEN LESS THAN TWO TENTHS OF AN INCH OF RAIN AND SNOW MELT SO FAR THIS YEAR … AND ONLY A LITTLE OVER HALF-AN-INCH SINCE DECEMBER FIRST.
