Winter storm brings snow, rain and cold to New Mexico


A significant winter storm is currently making its way into New Mexico and will drop snow over large swaths of the state.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A significant winter storm is currently making its way into New Mexico and will drop snow over large swaths of the state, particularly for areas in and around the central mountain chain. 

An east canyon wind will affect the Rio Grande Valley later Tuesday night, with up to 50 mph gusts possible. 

On Thursday, large snowfall accumulations and blowing snow will create hazardous driving conditions and possible power outages over the northern part of the state.

Miyagishima drops out of governor’s race, endorses Hull


LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Former Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima, who ran for governor as a Democrat and then as an independent, is endorsing Republican Gregg Hull.

Miyagishima ended his bid for New Mexico governor after weighing a Supreme Court appeal to stay on the ballot.

Miyagishima said on Friday he decided not to pursue an appeal to the Supreme Court over his ballot status.

“I have known Mayor Hull for almost 12 years. He is intelligent, hardworking, and a man of integrity. His record reflects his dedication to the people of both Rio Rancho and New Mexico,” Miyagishima said. “My goal is to help transform Mayor Hull into Governor Hull, deliver for the southwestern part of our state, and close the gap in our Native American communities. I am eager to mobilize support in southern New Mexico and our native lands for our future governor, Gregg Hull!”

Hull called the endorsement a sign of shared priorities as the governor’s race moves forward.

“Ken’s support demonstrates our shared commitment to the people of New Mexico,” Hull said. “Together, we will tackle the challenges in our communities, stimulate our economy, and ensure that every New Mexican has a voice in government.”

Hull is running against Democrat Deb Haaland, the former Secretary of the Interior.
