Much of New Mexico is about to get another blast of winter weather.
The National Weather Service says an arctic cold front will drop into northeastern and east-central New Mexico Monday evening, with low clouds and areas of light snow developing late Monday night and strong winds after midnight.
The forecast calls for strong winds to continue Tuesday and through Wednesday morning in the middle and lower Rio Grande Valley.
Meanwhile, significant snowfall is possible over much of western and central New Mexico, with likely impacts on travel on New Year's Day.
The weather service says eastern New Mexico near the Texas line could experience freezing rain and sleet on New Year's Eve and Near Year's Day.
