Special Weather Statement issued January 27 at 2:17AM MST by NWS Albuquerque NM

A winter storm spreading over northern and central NM Wednesday is
expected to peak in coverage and intensity late Wednesday through
Wednesday night and Thursday morning, before exiting NM Thursday
night. Generalized snow accumulations of 1 to 4 inches are favored
for areas along the Continental Divide and highlands adjacent to
the northern mountains. Higher amounts of 4 to 12 inches will
favor the northern mountains and highlands above 7,500 feet. Minor
to moderate impacts will result from this for these areas,
favoring the I-25 corridor from Raton to Santa Fe, northern
mountain passes and along I-40 through the Continental Divide and
central highlands east of Albuquerque. Currently a dusting to
couple of inches are favored within the Albuquerque metro area.
Little to to no snow is favored for lower elevation areas south of
U.S. Highway 60 including Socorro and Roswell.

There is still considerable room for the forecast to change
between now and Wednesday, specifically regarding snow amounts in
the middle elevations between 5,500 to 8,000 feet. This includes
Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Stay up-to-date on the latest forecast
information. Have alternative plans for travel and outdoor
activities to prepare for this period of inclement winter weather.
