...WINTER STORM EARLY NEXT WEEK MAY BRING MAJOR IMPACTS TO THE
AREA...
* WHAT...A prolonged period of below freezing and record cold
temperatures Monday through Wednesday with most locations seeing
their first freeze of the season. Periods of accumulating
freezing rain, sleet, and snow.
* WHERE...Locations mainly along and north of I-10.
* WHEN...Monday morning through Wednesday.
* IMPACTS...Freeze conditions will kill crops, other sensitive
vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.
Significant travel impacts may develop, including major
interstates and highways. Accumulations of ice may cause power
outages and bring down trees.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
This is an evolving situation so stay tuned to the latest
forecasts and begin to prepare now! If you have travel plans early
next week across New Mexico and west Texas, you may want to make
alternate arrangements. Take steps now to protect tender plants
from the cold. To prevent freezing and possible bursting of
outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to
drip slowly. Those that have in- ground sprinkler systems should
drain them and cover above- ground pipes to protect them from
freezing.

...Heavy snow possible for the Copper River Basin Sunday night

There is potential for heavy snow across the Copper River Basin
(including the Glennallen area) beginning Sunday night and
continuing through the day Monday. Confidence is high that it
will snow, but uncertainty in storm track leads to lower
confidence in how much snow will fall. At this point in time,
the best estimate for total snow is 4 to 8 inches with locally
higher amounts.

...MAJOR WINTER STORM EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH AT LEAST
TUESDAY NIGHT FOR NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO...
An arctic cold front is expected to bring notably colder air to
the Land of Enchantment for early next week. This boundary will
invade northeast New Mexico Saturday night, and push southward
through the eastern plains of New Mexico on Sunday. Temperatures
on Monday will be 25-45 degrees colder compared to Sunday across
the eastern plains, with most locales struggling to reach the 30
degree mark in the afternoon. This front may also bring strong
gap winds within the Rio Grande Valley Sunday night into Monday.
Meanwhile, winter precipitation is forecast to develop across the
northern parts of the state Sunday and Sunday night. A wintry mix
of snow, freezing rain, and sleet is possible across the eastern
plains Sunday night through Tuesday night. Meanwhile, expect rain
and snow showers across western New Mexico on Monday to quickly
transition to all snow Monday night as snow levels drop to valley
floors.
Significant accumulations of snow are likely across the northern
mountains as well as the northeast and central highlands. Expect
snowfall accumulations in excess of one foot in the high terrain,
with amounts exceeding six inches from western Colfax to Torrance
and eastern Bernalillo counties. Nearly all locations in northern
and central New Mexico can expect some degree of winter weather.
Significant travel impacts will develop, including the interstate
corridors. Sub-freezing temperatures could also result in a flash
freeze situation in eastern New Mexico on Sunday, increasing the
hazardous travel risk. The first widespread hard freeze this fall
is expected across eastern New Mexico on Sunday night, expanding
westward for Monday night.
There remains some uncertainty on the exact track and speed of
this storm system across New Mexico. In fact, a few models still
suggest winter precipitation may impact eastern New Mexico into
Wednesday or Wednesday night. Anyone with travel and recreational
plans should keep abreast of the latest forecasts and statements.
Take action to protect tender vegetation and exposed pipes from
freezing conditions.
Monitor NOAA weather radio, weather.gov/abq or your local media
for the latest updates on this developing winter storm.

...MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...
Very cold temperatures are expected for Sunday through Tuesday
morning in response to a passing strong, cold front from the
north. High temperatures for Sunday and Monday are forecast to
only be in the 30s and 40s region-wide. Morning lows for Monday
and Tuesday are likely to drop down into the teens and lower 20s
in western Nevada with single digits in the Sierra valleys. A few
below zero readings are not out of the question either. In
addition, gusty northeast winds behind the front Sunday into
Monday morning will make it feel even colder.
Now is the time to prepare for these cold temperatures by draining
outdoor irrigation systems, covering exposed water pipes, and
moving sensitive livestock, pets, and plants indoors.

...Heavy Snow Potential for the Eastern Interior and Alaska Range

There is potential for heavy snow in the Eastern Interior and the
Alaska Range, starting Sunday night.
There is high confidence that there will be heavy snow, but there
is lower confidence on where exactly that will be. Right now,
Fairbanks is expected to be on the northwest fringe of the snow
band, with areas to the south and east of Fairbanks having a
higher likelihood of seeing heavy snowfall.
Stay tuned for more updates.
