NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Winter-like temperatures have returned across all of New Mexico with nearly all below the freezing mark with some passing clouds, dry air, and light winds. Moisture with a developing low pressure system to the west will meet up with the even colder air ahead to produce widespread snow and eventually, dangerous wind chills.
To start across the region from north-northeast to south-southwest, temperatures are around zero degrees, the single digits, teens, 20s, and lower 30s.

Other than some mid-to-high-level clouds moving mostly to the southeast with south-southeasterly to westerly surface winds set to pick up a bit from the Pecos River Valley to the east-sloped mountainous areas, enough dry air will still lead to mostly no precipitation up until sunset, except for far-southern areas with a little bit of chilly rain activity with wet mountain snow and snow activity slowing ramping up in the Four Corners. High temperatures will be mostly lower for all with seasonably temperatures for most, except for the below-normal afternoon temperatures in Southeast New Mexico. From the morning school commute throughout the afternoon, temperatures will reach into the upper 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and near 60 degrees from east-northeast to west-southwest.
