Special Weather Statement until 05:00AM Thursday 
An arctic cold front will arrive in eastern NM late Friday, plummeting temperatures and marking the start of a long-duration cold event. A quick-hitting winter storm on Saturday and Saturday night will likely create at least minor travel impacts due to snow and blowing snow in northeastern NM, including at Raton Pass. A second, stronger arctic front arrives in eastern NM Monday, further dropping temperatures. Wind chills may drop as low as -20F Monday and Tuesday mornings, creating a high risk of frostbite and hypothermia. An additional round of snow Monday into Tuesday may be more widespread, but will still favor areas east of the central mountain chain with the potential for more significant adverse travel impacts. Residents of central and northern New Mexico should prepare for an extended period of subfreezing temperatures beginning Saturday that will necessitate precautions for people, plants, pipes, and pets. Monitor NOAA weather radio, weather.gov/abq or your local media for the latest updates on this situation. For the latest road conditions, dial 511 or 1.800.432.4269, or visit nmroads.com.
