Warnings and Notices

	Winter Weather Advisory
Statement as of 03:55 PM MST on Januarie 09, 2009 ... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 5 am MST Saturday... A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 5 am MST Saturday. Snow will develop late this afternoon and this evening over the higher terrain of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains as well as Raton Pass. Snow levels should drop tonight... allowing for widespread light to moderate snow across the lower elevations. Snow accumulations by daybreak on Saturday will range from 1 to 3 inches below 7500 feet and 2 to 4 inches above 7500 feet with locally higher amounts up to 6 inches above 9000 feet. In addition... a cold front will allow for north winds of 15 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. This will create areas blowing and drifting snow and reduced visibilities. Significant snow is not expected for the western slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Therefore... the Santa Fe Metro area can expect a dusting to possibly an inch of snow. Motorists should be alert to changing weather conditions and take precautions if travel is necessary... especially along Interstate 25 from Raton Pass to Las Vegas and Highway 64 within the sangres.
