WEDNESDAY’S RAIN AND SNOW IN NEW MEXICO IS JUST A PRECURSOR TO AN EVEN BIGGER WEATHER EVENT LATER IN THE WEEK. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST ROGER SMITH SAYS ALBUQUERQUE COULD GET UP TO SIX INCHES OF SNOW FROM A SECOND WINTER STORM THAT WILL HIT THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO TURN MUCH COLDER BY FRIDAY WITH HIGHS LIKELY STAYING BELOW FREEZING. THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WILL ALSO GET BLASTED WITH SNOW. SMITH SAYS THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS, FOR EXAMPLE, COULD SEE MORE THAN TWO FEET OF ACCUMULATION BY THE TIME THE STORM EXITS THE STATE ON SATURDAY.
