Up to 12 Inches of Snow for New Mexico Possible - Posted 12/23

UW-NMS Model with 6z NAM Initialization
There is potential for up to a foot of snow to fall in New Mexico in the next 48 hours as a storm system moves along the Mexico/US borderline. It appears that this heavy snow will be more in an isolated area, as the system puts its energy into a specific spot for the heavier snowfall.
We should be seeing a low pressure system dump snowfall in New Mexico, Mexico itself eastward into Texas. Amounts in Texas will be nowhere near what they were in the Blizzard a couple days ago. Farther eastward, a lack of colder air will lead to precipitation in the form of rain.

It is entirely possible.
