AS YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR. HERE ARE THE SEVEN BIG THINGS THAT WE’RE FOLLOWING FOR YOU TODAY. IT IS GOING TO BE SUNNY AND DRY OUT THERE TODAY. ANOTHER ONE. HERE’S ERIC WITH YOUR FORECAST. YEAH. TEMPERATURES THOUGH, AS WE STEP OUT THE DOOR, ARE REAL CLOSE TO FREEZING. ONLY A COUPLE ABOVE IN SANTA FE AND RIO RANCHO. AND RIGHT NOW THE ALBUQUERQUE SUNPORT REPORTING A 34 WITH AT LEAST A NORTHEAST WIND AT FIVE. SO THERE’S NOT MUCH OF A WIND CHILL FACTOR, BUT WE’RE IN COATS. WE’RE IN JACKETS. AS WE KICK OFF THIS MONDAY. GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT OUT THE DAYS WARM UP, WHICH ISN’T GOING TO KICK IN UNTIL PROBABLY THE 9 OR 10:00 HOUR. BUT RACING THROUGH THE 50S BY LUNCHTIME AND PROBABLY ALREADY WELL INTO THE 60S JUST AFTER LUNCHTIME, WE DO HAVE THOSE HIGHS IN THE LOWER 70S TODAY, WITH SUNNY SKIES THROUGHOUT AND HARDLY ANY WIND HERE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO. WE’LL BE BACK IN THE SHORT SLEEVES LATER ON TODAY. JUST GOT TO WAIT ON A MORNING WARMUP THOUGH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ERIC. IN THIS MORNING’S TOP STORIES, IRAN HAS A NEW SUPREME LEADER OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC. HE IS THE SON OF THE PREVIOUS LEADER AND BELIEVED TO HOLD MORE EXTREME VIEWS. THIS COMES AS PRESIDENT TRUMP CONTINUES DEMANDING HE WANTS TO HAVE THE FINAL SAY OVER WHO WILL LEAD THE COUNTRY NEXT. OIL PRICES ARE SOARING ABOVE $100 A BARREL, THE HIGHEST SINCE THE RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE IN 2022. TRIPLE A SAYS THE AVERAGE PRICE OF GAS IS NOW $3.48 A GALLON. THAT’S UP NEARLY $0.50 FROM ONE WEEK AGO. THE FAA AND THE NTSB ARE INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE OF A PLANE CRASH AT LOS ALTOS GOLF COURSE. TWO PEOPLE WERE INSIDE. ONE WAS KILLED. THE OTHER IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL IN CRITICAL CONDITION. AUTHORITIES SAY THE PILOT WAS TRYING TO DO AN EMERGENCY LANDING WHEN THE PLANE WENT DOWN ONTO THE GOLF COURSE. THE CONSTANT STREAM OF NEGATIVE NEWS ABOUT WARS AND CRIME CAN TAKE A TOLL ON ONE’S MENTAL HEALTH. SETTING BOUNDARIES AND BEING MINDFUL OF NEWS CONSUMPTION CAN HELP YOU STAY INFORMED WITHOUT LETTING STRESS TAKE OVER. DOUBLE CHECK WHAT YOU ARE SEEING THAT IT MAKES SURE IT’S FROM A REAL NEWS SOURCE. READING SCORES ARE GOING UP IN ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE JOURNAL REPORTS NEARLY 40% OF THIRD GRADERS ARE NOW READING AT GRADE LEVEL. THAT’S UP FROM ABOUT 32% LAST YEAR. ERIC. ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET’S CHECK BACK IN ON THE ROADS REAL QUICK. IT’S ALMOST 7 A.M. IF YOU’RE OUT TO WORK REAL SOON, THE INTERSTATE LANES AREN’T SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF SLOWDOWNS. NEITHER ARE THE SIDE STREETS OR DELAY FREE. WE’RE ACCIDENT FREE. JUST HOPING IT’S GOING TO STAY THAT WAY. IT’S AN AMAZING MONDAY. ALL RIGHT, REMEMBER, WHEN WE’RE NOT ON AIR, YOU CAN GET THE LATEST NEWSCAST ANYTIME ON THE APP. VERY LOCAL. IT’S ALSO FREE. YEAH. OUR NEXT NEWSCAST IS AT 11:00. GOOD MORNING AMERI
