Northern New Mexico is experiencing strong winds today, with gusts reaching up to 55 mph along the east slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and stretching south to Vaughn. These gusty winds are being driven by a weather disturbance moving through the Rockies, along with above-average temperatures.
By Monday, a backdoor front will usher in cooler air, especially affecting northern and eastern regions, while winds will ease. From Tuesday to early Thursday, rain and snow showers are expected in the northern mountains, with several inches of snow likely in the Tusas Mountains and lighter snowfall near Raton Pass.
Thanksgiving Day is predicted to be colder, though sunny, with milder and mostly cloudy conditions following for the weekend. Stay prepared for fluctuating weather patterns throughout the week!
