Race Day Live (Albuquerque, NM) – Today’s driving conditions in central New Mexico are dangerous since regular snow showers produce slick roadways, especially on main routes like I-25 and I-40. Traveling in the region becomes hazardous for commuters and visitors as the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a warning for potentially developing icy patches.
This afternoon, light snowfall is expected—up to two inches probable. Officials warn that the snowfall will decrease by nightfall as temperatures hover around 30°F; still, the cold temperatures will remain and can worsen road conditions overnight. To guarantee safety, drivers are advised to slow down, extend following distances, and avoid cruise control on slippery surfaces.
Temperatures tonight will dip to 17°F, accompanied by rather hazy sky. Although Tuesday will offer generally bright weather with a high near 43°F and calmer winds, overnight temperatures will drop to 15°F, so preserving icy road conditions in some regions. Similar sunny conditions with mid-40s highs will allow Wednesday and Thursday to witness a slow thaw. Still, roadways might stay frozen in some areas if nighttime lows still fall below freezing.
Saturday offers a little possibility of snow flurries as the week goes on. Residents and drivers should remain alert since cycles of thawing and refreezing can provide continuous slippery conditions. The National Weather Service keeps an eye on the matter and advises the people to keep informed about the forecasts.
Those visiting central New Mexico should be ready for winter risks and modify their itineraries for now.
