Nageezi Warnings, Watches and Advisories

Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.

Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location. This is done to help with preparing for severe weather that may overlap or be heading towards Nageezi.

* WHAT...Moderate to Heavy snow possible. Most likely total snow accumulations between 3 to 6 inches below 8000 feet, and 6 to 10 inches above 8000 feet. * WHERE...Sacramento Mountains. * WHEN...From Saturday morning through Sunday morning. * IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...There remains considerable uncertainty with this system, particularly with the time of arrival of cold air and subsequent snow levels. Snow levels may start out over 9000 to 9500 deet for the first half of the event, limiting snowfall totals at lower elevations.

Winter Storm Watch issued January 22 at 2:14AM MST until January 25 at 5:00AM MST by NWS Albuquerque NM

* 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.
