"New Year Ushers in Series of Winter Storms Across the Country"

New Mexico is experiencing an active start to 2024 with a series of winter storms bringing rain, thunderstorms, and snow across the state. The first storm will affect southern New Mexico south of I-40, followed by a stronger system that could cause travel disruptions with snow reaching valley floors, including the Albuquerque Metro. After a brief respite, another storm is expected to bring even colder temperatures and more snow by Sunday night, with highs below freezing in some areas the following Monday.
