THE WARMER-THAN-NORMAL WEATHER IS NICE…BUT IT’S DOING A NUMBER ON NEW MEXICO’S PRECIOUS MOUNTAIN SNOWPACK. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST CHUCK JONES WITH THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN ALBUQUERQUE TELLS 770 KKOB WE GOT OFF TO A GREAT START THIS WINTER, BUT THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
HE SAYS ABOUT HALF OF NEW MEXICO’S BASINS ARE BELOW NORMAL. FURTHERMORE, HE SAYS THOSE THAT ARE ABOVE NORMAL RIGHT NOW ARE NOT THAT FAR ABOVE NORMAL.
JONES SAYS THE WARM WEATHER WILL CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK, AT LEAST. BUT HE SAYS THERE’S STILL A CHANCE WE’LL SEE A PATTERN CHANGE BY LATE FEBRUARY INTO MARCH.
