Increasing rain and snow in New Mexico (2025)

FOR MORE SANDIA CREST CAM. A VAST DIFFERENCE FROM YESTERDAY. BUT GUESS WHAT? RAIN AND SNOW, WHICH IS MUCH NEEDED, IS BACK IN THE FORECAST. LET’S GET RIGHT TO JOE. I KNOW A LOT OF US HAVE SOME PLANS FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND, EASTER HOLIDAY WEEKEND, BUT IT’S AN ANSWERED PRAYER BASICALLY BECAUSE IT’S BEEN 152 DAYS SINCE WE’VE HAD ANY GOOD MOISTURE THROUGHOUT MUCH OF NEW MEXICO. WE’RE LOOKING FOR THAT IN ALBUQUERQUE TOMORROW, AND THEN ONCE WE GET THE MOISTURE, NEXT TIME THE WIND BLOWS, IT WON’T BLOW AS MUCH DUST AROUND. SO WE GOT TO LOVE THAT. YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND COLDER CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT SANTA FE. RIO RANCHO ON INTO RUIDOSO AND ALBUQUERQUE. AND WITH OUR TEMPERATURE RIGHT NOW 70 DEGREES, WE STILL HAVE THOSE GUSTY WINDS OVER 30 MILES AN HOUR WITH THE WIND GUSTS AND SUSTAINED RIGHT NOW AROUND 28 MILES AN HOUR FOR THIS EVENING. THOSE BREEZES WILL BE COMING DOWN. AND LOOK AT THIS WITH DEVELOPING SHOWERS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. SO LET’S GET RIGHT TO THAT. FIRST OF ALL THERE YOU SEE THIS THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS GOING TO COME OVER AND WE’RE GOING TO GET MOISTURE ON THE FRONT SIDE OF IT. AND THEN ON THE BACK SIDE OF IT. SO LET ME JUST KIND OF WALK THROUGH THAT RIGHT NOW WITH YOU OKAY. THERE’S THIS MOISTURE FORECAST AROUND 7:00 THIS EVENING. A LOT OF THAT WILL PUSH TO THE NORTH. BUT HERE’S THAT NEXT BAND, THE LOW PRESSURE SETTING UP. AND THEN IT’S GOING TO FEED. THIS IS A 7:00 IN THE MORNING IS GOING TO FEED SOME OF THAT MOISTURE RIGHT ON INTO OUR AREA. AND IT LOOKS PRETTY LIKELY THAT WE’LL HAVE RAIN AND SNOW MIXES AROUND AS IT INCREASES. WE’LL SEE OFF AND ON BANDS OF SHOWERS. NOW LOOK AT THIS. AT 5:00 THE LOW IS LIKE OVER HERE. THE RAIN AND AND MOUNTAIN SNOW IS WRAPPING AROUND IT. AND THEN AS THAT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PULLS AWAY, WE GET INTO A COLD EASTER MORNING STAR. YEAH. BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES, WE’RE UNDER A FREEZE WARNING AGAIN IN THE ALBUQUERQUE AREA. THAT BEING THE CASE, YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO PROTECT THE TENDER VEGETATION AND YOUR PETS. BUT AS WE GET INTO EASTER. AFTERNOON, WOW, IT CHANGES WITH THE SUNSHINE AND THE MILDER DAYTIME HIGHS. AND THAT’
