Ice accumulations near a few hundredths of a inch are possible, particularly south of the Interstate 40 corridor. Precipitation will change to rain during the afternoon for many valley areas, as snow levels rise throughout the day. Given that temperatures will stay near to above freezing, some slick road conditions can be expected. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday The second of a series of winter storms will arrive Friday, mainly in the form of high elevation snow and valley rain. But, a changeover to all snow is expected Friday night as a strong Pacific cold front sweeps from west to east. Travel impacts may be possible along the Interstate 40 and 25 corridors. Lingering snow showers will continue over the northern mountains Saturday morning. Additionally, strong winds with gusts up to 50-55 mph will impact along and east of the central mountain chain, leading to potential power outages and hazardous travel conditions along major interstates. Temperatures warm Sunday- Tuesday as a ridge builds over the state. But, another storm system is on the horizon mid-week for high elevation snow and valley rain across western and northern New Mexico. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters are encouraged to report snowfall amounts through the National Weather Service Albuquerque web site at weather.gov/abq or by calling 1.888.386.7637.
