FIRST ACCUMULATING SNOW OF THE SEASON POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT…
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THERE ARE STILL DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE
VARIOUS COMPUTER MODELS…WITH SOME INDICATING LITTLE OR NO SNOW
WHILE OTHERS SUGGEST A BAND OF AN INCH TO POSSIBLY TWO INCHES
COULD OCCUR. PRESENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE GREATEST THREAT OF
ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80. WHILE SNOWFALL
AMOUNT WILL BE FAIRLY MINOR…EVEN AN INCH OF SNOW COULD LEAD TO
HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS…PARTICULARLY ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS.
THE SYSTEM THAT IS GOING TO AFFECT THE REGION IS STILL NEAR
ALASKA AND THE TRACK COULD CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THURSDAY
NIGHT…SO PERSONS PLANNING TRAVEL THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO
ALLOW FOR EXTRA TRAVEL TIMES TO ARRIVE TO THEIR DESTINATIONS.
New Mexico has recently experienced significant snowfalls.
