Special Weather Statement issued January 16 at 4:48PM MST by NWS Albuquerque NM
Forecaster confidence is growing, and an arctic cold front is set to arrive in eastern New Mexico late Friday into Saturday, followed by a second surge of frigid air arriving on Monday. This will lead to a long-duration of very cold, sub-freezing temperatures with bitter wind chills, especially in eastern and northeastern New Mexico. This will create a high risk of frostbite and hypothermia for anyone outside. In addition, light snow will accompany these harsh cold fronts, creating areas of slick travel and reduced visibility in snow and blowing snow. Snow will initially develop over northeastern New Mexico Friday night
