ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Windy conditions will continue to take over New Mexico as the second weather system will move through the state Wednesday.
This is connected to a powerful low pressure system off to our north. It brought strong winds – as high as 200 mph in the upper levels above New Mexico!
This translates to the surface with wind alerts issued for all of New Mexico and the outer-lying areas in our viewing area. You can expect wind gusts ranging from 30-65 mph. The highest wind gusts will be over far western New Mexico and the central mountain chain. The Albuquerque metro will seek gusts peak at around 45 mph, which could result in blowing dust – and reduced visibility and lower air quality.
There is also a red flag warning for eastern and southern New Mexico. Winter weather alerts are also in effect for the Tusas and Chuskas Mountains and the southern Rockies for blowing snow.
