New Mexico – The latest winter storm is making its way across New Mexico, bringing rain to Albuquerque and snow to the higher elevations in western and northern portions of the state.
Forecasters are warning that the main part of the storm will hit New Mexico late Tuesday into Wednesday. That will result in colder temperatures and lower snow levels.
Travel along interstates 25 and 40 is not expected to be as widely affected as last week, when much of the state was socked with several inches of snow.
Grants schools closed early Monday due to snow, and authorities in Santa Fe County were warning drivers of icy roads.
A multi-car pileup was reported Monday afternoon near the Santa Fe Opera and deputies were responding to accidents along New Mexico highway 599.
