Residents in the northern Rio Grande Valley, Torrance County, Las Vegas, and areas along I-25 to Raton should prepare for freezing temperatures by Friday morning. Strong winds associated with the cold front may pose risks to outdoor activities and could lead to localized power outages or minor property damage. Albuquerque will experience cooler temperatures but is not under a freeze warning. Drivers should remain cautious in areas with high wind gusts, especially near Tijeras Canyon and the central mountains.
