The models are getting slightly more consistent on a run-to-run basis. Warm and windy conditions on Tuesday will transition to cold, wet, and sloppy for a couple of days beginning very late Wednesday /early Thursday. Travel will be impacted in the mountains and some of the mid-elevation areas. The passes will be especially messy. If you have major travel planned on Thursday to Friday which will take you over the passes expect it to take delays.

The models agree on the timing at the moment, but they don’t agree on the exact track of the storm. There is a chance that a piece could go south and impact Northern New Mexico. If you are planning on driving to ABQ you could be affected as well.

The other piece of the puzzle is the snow level. Before it’s done I expect snow well below 7,000 feet this time. The GFS shows a warmer storm and the Euro shows a colder storm. A lot of that will have to do with the storm track and it is too early to figure that out. If I were pressed I would say all snow at 8000 feet or above.

Here are the liquid precipitation forecast maps from the latest runs of our favorite models. Multiply by 10 at or above 8000 feet for snow forecasts.
