While the weather can be a fickle partner to dance with, and forcasters are about as trustworthy as a used car salesman, I would say to take advantage of your mobility.
Travel into Alburquerque should be fairly secure, if you need to stay a few days to give yourself a window of time to take the 4 hr drive (in normal conditions) north. and then select what day to travel north to Durango according to weather and road conditions. And if you dont feel secure with the 5er, you can stop and just go with the truck or select another destination.
I would carry the associated equipment, chains, extra propane etc to allow some added security, but you went mobile for a reason, and you wont learn without doing some new things, just be cautious with it.
