Weather Alert: 45 MPH Winds and Frost Expected from Cold Front in New Mexico
A backdoor cold front is set to move into northeast New Mexico tonight, bringing gusty winds and cooler temperatures. The National Weather Service has issued a frost alert for many areas, anticipating wind gusts of 40 to 45 mph in Albuquerque and potentially reaching up to 50 mph in other parts of the state.
As the cold front sweeps through, winds are expected to intensify throughout the night, with peak gusts anticipated early Tuesday morning. The strongest winds will be felt along the Central Mountain Chain and the adjacent plains.
Residents are advised to take precautions to protect plants and outdoor items from potential frost and wind damage. The front is projected to continue moving westward through the morning, which may affect travel across highways and lead to hazardous driving conditions.
This early-season cold snap serves as a reminder that fall temperatures are settling in. Residents should remain vigilant about upcoming frost alerts and weather warnings, keeping informed with local forecasts to ensure their safety.
