A strong spring storm delivered snow to northern New Mexico on the 9th and high winds on the 10th over much of the state. A second storm system brought snow to northeast New Mexico on the 11th. The first storm was churning off the California coast on the 8th, moved into Arizona on the 9th and lifted north across Colorado on the 10th. The second storm crossed eastern New Mexico on the 11th into the early hours of the 12th. The water vapor image below and to the left, overlaid with 500mb heights, shows the first storm over Arizona on the 9th, while the image below and to the right shows the second storm early on the 12th.

Precipitation was fairly widespread and significant with the first storm, while more isolated and generally lighter amounts were associated with the second system. The radar images below show a sample of the precipitation on the 9th (left image) and 11th (right image).

Significant snow and rain amounts were observed with the first storm as it impacted the state on the 9th into the 10th. Parts of the Albuquerque Metro area enjoyed a nice rainfall, with up to 0.75 inches in the far eastern foothills. Snowfall amounts reached around 10 inches over the northern and central mountains. The tables below show some of the snowfall totals from the first storm (left image) and second storm (right image).

The next storm system to impact New Mexico took a different track than the previous storm on the 9th - 12th, but the results were similar across New Mexico, with 2 days of strong winds followed by light to moderate snow mainly the northeast.

The storm moved into the Pacific Northwest on the 14th, then dove southeast toward New Mexico on the 15th and 16th, resulting in strong winds ahead of it. As the storm swept across New Mexico on the 17th, colder air poured into the state with snow over primarily the northeast. The tables below list the stronger wind gusts on the 15th and 16th and higher snowfall amounts on the 17th.
