Albuquerque, NM – A winter storm warning and weather advisory are now in effect across Albuquerque as a significant storm system brings a mix of rain, snow, and colder temperatures to the area. Residents should prepare for slick roads and potential travel delays, especially along major highways like I-25 and I-40. The National Weather Service (NWS) warns that snowfall could accumulate in surrounding areas, leading to dangerous driving conditions and reduced visibility.
According to the NWS, rain is expected early Monday, followed by snow, especially in the afternoon as temperatures fall to a high near 49 degrees. Snow accumulation is likely to increase as the evening progresses, with a low of 28 degrees overnight. On Tuesday, Albuquerque can expect mostly sunny skies with a brief respite from precipitation, but temperatures will remain chilly with a high near 54.
Another wave of wintry weather is set to arrive Wednesday night, as snow showers are forecasted to mix with rain, dropping temperatures further. By Thursday, snow is expected to continue, with daytime temperatures struggling to reach 39 degrees and nighttime lows plummeting to around 31 degrees. This pattern could make roads hazardous throughout the week, and residents are advised to monitor weather updates closely.
For those in high-altitude regions nearby, NWS warns of potentially heavier snow accumulation, with several inches possible in some areas. Motorists should prepare for delays and keep an emergency kit in their vehicles. This week’s cold front could also affect visibility and make secondary roads icy, heightening risks for commuters.
