...STRONG STORM SYSTEM TO BRING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE
WEATHER FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND...
A potent upper level low pressure system will drop into Arizona
Friday into Saturday before lifting north of New Mexico on Sunday.
This system will bring in significant moisture and strong thunderstorms
to the eastern plains of New Mexico while spreading colder air
and rain and snow showers to northwestern and north central areas
of the state.
Repeated rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms are expected in
the eastern plains each day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Storms
will be capable of producing very heavy rainfall, frequent
lightning, damaging winds and large hail. Areas of flash flooding
will also be possible in these eastern areas of the state, and
perhaps on the Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon wildfire burn scar too.
Colder temperatures will also begin spilling into far western New
Mexico Friday night, advancing farther east over the state each
day through Sunday night. Many locations will observe their
coldest temperatures of the season thus far, and a few areas will
dip below freezing for the fist time this fall. The colder
temperatures will lower snow levels with light amounts expected
over the western mountains and highlands of New Mexico while the
northern peaks of the state receive a few to several inches of
accumulation, mainly above 8,500 feet.
Breezy to windy conditions will also arrive, especially on Friday
over the southwestern to central areas of the state. Blowing dust
may develop in vulnerable, dry lower elevation areas.
Residents and travelers of New Mexico are urged to stay tuned to
the latest weather forecast at weather.gov/abq or through your
preferred media outlet. Any follow up statements, advisories,
watches or warnings can also be found from these sources.
