Snow falls in northern NM, freezing temps forecast in Albuquerque

Overnight weather forecasts Albuquerque and surrounding areas call for potentially below-freezing temperatures tonight and Wednesday night, with lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s.

Snow also fell overnight and remained on the ground throughout much of northern New Mexico on Tuesday afternoon. As of around 2:30 p.m., the entire upper-third of the state was under either a winter weather or winter storm advisory. Portions of the state from Santa Fe to Chama and Los Alamos to Raton were being warned of the potential for winter storms almost three weeks after the first day of spring.
