ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO – Southern New Mexico is preparing for its first snowfall of the winter season, with snow expected to begin tonight and continue through Monday night. The National Weather Service says there is still uncertainty about how much snow will fall, but confidence is high enough for winter weather alerts to be issued.
Forecasters warn that the system could bring slick roads and reduced visibility, especially in higher elevations and rural areas. While exact totals are unclear, residents should anticipate colder temperatures and possible travel impacts as the storm moves through.
Several counties in southern New Mexico are under winter highlights, and officials recommend monitoring local forecasts for updates. This marks the first significant winter weather event of the season for the region.
