...NEW ROUNDS OF RAIN AND SNOW LIKELY FOR NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
NEW MEXICO LATE THIS WEEK THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...

THE CURRENT DRY AND MILDER WEATHER PATTERN OF THIS WORK WEEK WILL BE
RUNNING ITS COURSE AS THE WEEK NEARS ITS END. AT LEAST TWO SEPARATE
STORM SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED TO BRING FAIRLY WIDESPREAD AND
POTENTIALLY SUBSTANTIAL PRECIPITATION TO THE STATE FROM LATE THIS
WEEK THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE SOMEWHAT
COLDER THAN THE PREVIOUS STORM BRINGING LOWER SNOW LEVELS WITH THEM.

THE FIRST STORM SYSTEM WILL REACH NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
THURSDAY...DIVE INTO NORTHWEST ARIZONA FRIDAY AFTERNOON OR
NIGHT...THEN TURN NORTHEAST FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. MOISTURE IS
EXPECTED TO GET DRAWN NORTH INTO NEW MEXICO AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM.
SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND LOW ELEVATION RAIN SHOULD BEGIN LATER THURSDAY
NIGHT OVER THE FAR NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE
STATE...THEN IT SHOULD SPREAD INTO A GOOD PORTION OF THE NORTHWEST
HALF OR TWO THIRDS OF THE STATE LATE FRIDAY AND EARLY SATURDAY.
WHILE THE BEST CHANCE FOR MORE WIDESPREAD SIGNIFICANT
PRECIPITATION...MOSTLY SNOW...WITH THIS INITIAL SYSTEM WILL BE OVER
THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF THE STATE...THE EASTERN PLAINS
AND CENTRAL VALLEYS WILL RECEIVE ONLY ISOLATED TO PERHAPS SCATTERED
SHOWERS. THAT MAY TURN OVER TO SCATTERED SNOW OR MIXED PRECIPITATION
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AS A
BACK DOOR COLD FRONT SURGES SOUTH AND WEST ACROSS THAT AREA. AS THE
COLDER AIR BEHIND THAT FRONT OVERSPREADS A GOOD PORTION OF THE REST
OF THE STATE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT THERE MAY BE ANOTHER UPSWING IN
PRECIPITATION...MOSTLY SNOW OR SOME PRECIPITATION MIX. A SECOND
STORM IS FORECAST TO TAKE SHAPE OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SUNDAY AND
REACH NEW MEXICO LATER MONDAY OR TUESDAY. ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE
IS LIKELY WITH THIS SYSTEM. SNOW LEVELS MAY BE EVEN LOWER WITH
THIS SECOND STORM. THUS THE BULK OF PRECIPITATION MAY BE IN THE FORM
OF SNOW...ESPECIALLY MONDAY NIGHT. THE PATH OF THIS SECOND STORM AND
ITS ATTENDANT PRECIPITATION IS MORE IN QUESTION THOUGH THAN THAT OF
THE FIRST SYSTEM...SO WHETHER THE SECOND STORM SPREADS MORE
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST HALF OR THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE
STATE IS STILL DEBATABLE.

WITH THE EXACT DETAILS OF THE APPROACHING ADVERSE WEATHER NOT YET
EXACTLY PRECISE...THOSE PLANNING TRAVEL OR OTHER OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO SHOULD REMAIN IN CLOSE TOUCH
WITH THEIR PREFERRED WEATHER INFORMATION SOURCE TO BE SURE YOU HAVE
THE LATEST FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS. ALLOW FOR SOME DELAYS IN TRAVEL
LATE THIS WEEK THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AND PREPARE YOUR VEHICLE FOR
WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS.
