New Mexico is bracing for a mix of weather this weekend as a series of systems moves through the state. Friday will bring gusty winds, with speeds reaching up to 45-50 mph in west-central New Mexico, raising concerns about critical fire weather. As the weekend progresses, cooler temperatures and wetter conditions will take hold, particularly Sunday into Monday. While precipitation totals have lessened, slick roads are expected in the mountains above 8,500 feet, with snow likely to cause travel delays. A quick, colder system could hit Tuesday, bringing light snow accumulations to northern mountain areas. Stay prepared for rapidly changing conditions across the state.
