* WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations between 4 and 10 inches across much of central and eastern New Mexico, except up to 16 inches above 9,500 feet. * WHERE...Portions of central, east central, north central, northeast, and southeast New Mexico. * WHEN...From Friday morning through late Saturday night. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult to impossible for an extended period of time, most notably along I-40 from Tijeras Canyon to the Texas border. The weight of accumulating snow will stress the power grid, potentially creating outages. An extended period of cold temperatures will increase the risk of frostbite and hypothermia. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Bitterly cold temperatures will also accompany this winter storm, with the coldest temperatures in the eastern plains of New Mexico. Temperatures will be coldest Sunday and Monday mornings when much of eastern NM will be in the single digits with much colder wind chills.

Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation. Those planning to travel Friday through Sunday morning should pay close attention given the potential for travel impacts along I-40 and I-25.
