DRY, WINDY WEATHER CAN HELP DESTROY THE SNOWPACK THAT’S BUILT UP IN THE MOUNTAINS. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HYDROLOGIST ROYCE FONTENOT SAYS WHILE THERE’S BEEN SOME LOSS…IT HASN’T BECOME A MAJOR CONCERN, HE SAYS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE STATE LOOKS GOOD BUT THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE STATE REMAINS BELOW NORMAL.
AND THERE’S GOOD NEWS. FONTENOT SAYS WEATHER SYSTEMS MOVING INTO NEW MEXICO OVER THE NEXT TEN DAYS COULD ADD TO THE SNOWPACK, WHICH IS VITAL WHEN IT COMES SPRING RUN-OFF TIME.
