Weekend forecast stays sunny, warm, and dry
Two more dry days, then much-needed rain arrives on Primary Election Day Tuesday.
FAR. OLGA, CAN WE EXPECT THE SUMMER LIKE TEMPS TO STICK AROUND? I THINK THE HEAT IS GOING TO STAY WITH US, BUT WE ARE TRACKING SOME STORM OPPORTUNITIES AS WE MOVE INTO NEXT WEEK. BUT IF YOU HAVE PLANS FOR YOUR SATURDAY OR SUNDAY OR MONDAY, I THINK YOU’RE IN GOOD SHAPE. WE’RE AT 83 DEGREES RIGHT NOW AT THE REPORTING STATION NEAR SANTA FE. CHECK OUT ALL THAT BLUE SKY. WINDS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY LIGHT, MAINLY OUT OF THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST UNDER FIVE MILES PER HOUR. TEMPERATURES ARE SOARING OFF TOWARD THE EAST AND THE SOUTHEAST. WE HAVE SOME 90S FOR ROSWELL, CARLSBAD AND HOBBS 90 IN DEMING RIGHT NOW, AND SOME OF THOSE UPPER 80S FROM TUCUMCARI TO CLOVIS, AND EVEN LOOKING AT SOME HEAT IN T OR C RIGHT NOW. THE FORECAST IS GOING TO STAY PRETTY QUIET OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. WE’VE HAD A COUPLE OF OCCASIONAL WIND GUSTS, BUT FOR MOST OF US IT’S BEEN A PRETTY QUIET DAY TODAY. FIRES ARE STILL BURNING IN SEVERAL PARTS OF THE STATE, INCLUDING THE SEVEN CABINS FIRE. SO THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF SMOKE IN AND AROUND THAT REGION, JUST NORTH AND EAST OF THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. AND AS I SAID, WE’RE GOING TO STAY DRY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. BUT THEN MUCH NEEDED RAIN MAKES ANOTHER APPEARANCE BY TUESDAY, MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WE’LL SEE A PRETTY GOOD SHOT AT SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WE’LL CARRY THAT RAIN OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. DEFINITELY WILL SEE SOME ACTION IN PARTS OF THE STATE INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LET’S TAKE IT HOUR TO HOUR FROM TUESDAY MORNING. I KNOW A LOT OF FOLKS ARE HEADING OUT TO GET OUT THEIR VOTE, BUT PRETTY GOOD UNTIL ABOUT LUNCHTIME. BUT STARTING FROM NOON AND BEYOND, RAIN OPPORTUNITIES AND SPOTTY SHOWERS WILL START TO POP THROUGH. WE’LL SEE SOME OF THIS RAIN OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, EVENING AND OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY. BUT FOR THURSDAY, THE BULL’S EYE FOR SOME OF THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS GOING TO BE OFF TOWARD THE SOUTH AND TOWARD THE EAST, AND THAT’S THE AREA WE’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING FOR SOME POTENTIAL FLOODING. SO HERE IS YOUR PRIMARY ELECTION DAY FORECAST. IT’S GOING TO GET BREEZY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING, AND DEFINITELY WHEN THE WINDS COME IN, OUR TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO START TO DIP JUST A LITTLE BIT. BUT THE RAIN SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL RIGHT AROUND SUNSET. LOOKING GOOD OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. SKIES STAY CLEAR. TEMPERATURES TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF DIP. SO SEVEN 8:00 TOMORROW MORNING. THERE COULD BE SOME 40S AND 50S ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER. BUT THEN ALL OF THAT WARMS UP WITH SOME SOUTH SOUTHEASTERLY WIND FLOW AND TOMORROW’S HIGH TEMPERATURES BY THE AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. WE’LL SEE MIDDLE AND UPPER 80S FOR MOST OF US, AND EVEN SOME LOWER 90S POPPING IN ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN ZONES. SUNSHINE PREVAILS FOR THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. NOT ONLY WILL YOU SEE MILDER MORNING LOWS, WE’RE GOING TO KEEP THE CLOUDS AWAY TILL TUESDAY AFTERNOON. TUESDAY EVENING SPOT SHOWER CHANCES ARE THERE ON WEDNESDAY, BUT VERY, VERY SLIGHT. MUCH NEEDED RAIN IS COMING TO SILVER CITY AND TO OUR SOUTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES, WHICH MEANS SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. EVEN IMPACT LEVEL STORMS BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY EVENING. WE’RE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. MILD MORNING LOWS FOR THE SOUTH AND EAST. IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT AND ABOUT IN ROSWELL FOR CARLSBAD FOR HOBBS, THESE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO HANG IN THE 90S FOR SEVERAL DAYS. WE DO HAVE IMPACT STORMS ON THE WAY, AND THAT’S DEFINITELY DIALING BACK THE TEMPS, PARTICULARLY ON WEDNESDAY WHEN OUR HIGHS WILL HOLD INTO THE LOWER 80S. HERE WE ARE WAITING FOR THAT SUNSHINE FOR TOMORROW, MAINLY FOR NORTHERN AND EASTERN ZONES. THIS INCLUDES LAS VEGAS, RATON AND RED RIVER. COOL MORNING LOWS, STILL, SOME 40S AND LOWER 50S ARE GOING TO HANG AROUND FOR A WHILE, BUT WATCH FOR OVERCAST SKIES BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS THOSE STORMS MOVE ON THROUGH. SO SUNSHINE IS PRETTY GOOD ONE TO GET OUT AND ENJOY THE PLAZA AND OTHER AREAS IN SANTA FE FOR TOMORROW. WITH THOSE BALMY TEMPERATURES. AND YES, A NICE SUNNY FINISH TO THE WEEKEND HERE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO. WATCH FOR LATE DAY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM
Weekend forecast stays sunny, warm, and dry
Two more dry days, then much-needed rain arrives on Primary Election Day Tuesday.
The second half of the weekend continues to warm up. Mostly sunny and pleasant today. Afternoon temperatures will continue to trend well above average, so remember to stay hydrated and find a place to cool off during the height of the midday heat. Highs across the Albuquerque metro are headed into the upper 80s; around 80 in Santa Fe. Mostly clear and not too cold overnight. While Monday stays dry, a surge of Gulf moisture from the southwest moves in bringing a good chance for scattered showers and storms on Primary Election Day Tuesday.
