AREAS EAST OF NEW MEXICO’S CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN ARE SOON EXPECTED TO BE HIT WITH THE FIRST WIDE-SPREAD WINTER PRECIPITATION EVENT OF THE SEASON. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST CLAY ANDERSON IT COULD MAKE TRAVEL DIFFICULT. HE EXPECTS SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL THIS SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING. HE SAYS IT’LL FAVOR PLACES LIKE LAS VEGAS, RATON, CLINES CORNERS AND ALL THE WAY SOUTH TO RUIDOSO AS WELL AS HEADING AS FAR EAST AS THE TEXAS BORDER.
ALBUQUERQUE WON’T SEE MUCH OF AN IMPACT. ANDERSON SAYS WHATEVER PRECIPITATION WE GET IN THE METRO AREA WILL LIKELY BE VERY LIGHT.
