It’s Easter Sunday. Spring is here, warm weather burst through last week ... and it’s probably going to snow soon.
Less than a week after temperatures in the 80s reminded us what sweat feels like, forecasters say eastern New Mexico can expect snow on Monday night / Tuesday morning.
Chance of precipitation is better than 50 percent, with rain Monday evening possibly turning into snow overnight.
Accumulations are expected to be less than one inch and shouldn’t impact driving. But optimistic gardeners may be sorry if they’ve started already — hard freezes are expected tonight, Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday night also will see low temperatures around the mid-30s.
The National Weather Service reports the bad weather begins today, with wind gusts around 40 mph and an overnight low of 26 degrees.
High temperatures are expected in the mid-40s on Monday and Tuesday and it’s likely Thursday before temperatures are springlike again, with highs near 70.
