New Mexico weekend set to be hot with highs trending well above average
THROUGH THE ALBUQUERQUE CONVENTION CENTER BOX OFFICE. WELL, FLASH FLOOD CONCERNS FOR CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO, PLUS WIND AND DUST IN ALBUQUERQUE. OLGA IS TRACKING AN ACTIVE WEATHER NIGHT. YEAH, IT’S BEEN A LITTLE BIT BUSY FOR THE LAST TWO AND A HALF, THREE HOURS. WE’RE STILL CONCERNED ABOUT FLASH FLOODING. NORTHERN END OF THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE RADAR IS STARTING TO QUIET DOWN IN THAT REGION. JUST A FEW REMAINING CELLS THERE. BUT THIS WATCH WILL NOT END UNTIL WE GET TO THE 6:00 HOUR. SO JUST A LITTLE MORE TO GO OVER ALL THE MOST OF THE ACTION HAS BEEN TO THE SOUTH. WE’VE SEEN SOME GUSTY WINDS IN AND AROUND SOCORRO WITH A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM IN THE LAST HOUR. NOW WE’RE GETTING SOME MODERATE RAIN FROM SILVER CITY DOWN TOWARD DEMING AND IN TOWARD THE BOOTHEEL, AND EVEN SOME RED SHOWING UP JUST TOWARD THE EAST OF ROSWELL ON THE ON THE NEW MEXICO SIDE OF THE BORDER WITH TEXAS. SO THINGS ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO BE CHANGING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AND IMPROVING. SO IF YOU HAVE THOSE EVENING PLANS, GO AHEAD. I THINK YOU’RE GOING TO BE OKAY. BE PREPARED THOUGH, WHERE THOSE RAIN SHOWERS ARE FALLING. WE DO HAVE SOME GUSTY WINDS, CLOCKING WINDS ABOUT 37MPH THIS HOUR. AT SANTA FE, WE SAW 47 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS IN SOCORRO WITH THAT THUNDERSTORM CELL AND QUITE A BIT OF ACTION TOWARD LORDSBURG AND DEMING AT THE MOMENT. AS THE RAIN MOVES THROUGH, AIR QUALITY HAS IMPROVED FOR PORTIONS OF THE STATE, BUT WE’RE STILL DEALING WITH A LITTLE BIT OF DIMINISHED AIR QUALITY ACROSS THE NORTH AND THE NORTHEAST FOR FOR THE SHORT TERM, I THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE IMPROVING AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOUR. AND FOR TOMORROW, WE’RE ACTUALLY LOOKING GOOD. YOU CAN SEE THE WET PAVEMENT HERE IN OUR SILVER CITY CAMERA VIEW. SOME SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH. BUT RIGHT NOW WE JUST HAVE SOME PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES, OCCASIONAL WIND GUSTS, AND MILD TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60S. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A VERY COOL NIGHT TONIGHT. THESE TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S AND 80S ARE GOING TO BACK DOWN AFTER SUNSET, BUT NOT TOO TERRIBLY LOW. WE’LL KEEP ENOUGH CLOUD COVER HERE ACROSS THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO TO KEEP THINGS VERY MILD. BY 9:00. WE’RE STILL HANGING OUT IN THE UPPER 70S, WITH WINDS UNDER 15MPH AND ESPECIALLY EARLY MORNING, 7:00 8:00 ON YOUR SATURDAY. MOST OF THE RAIN WILL BE GONE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SOUTH AND THE EAST. WE’LL WAKE UP TO A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS WILL INCREASE THAT SUNSHINE THROUGH MIDDAY. SO HEATING UP THOSE TEMPERATURES AGAIN MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO PLAN SOME POOL TIME, OR MAYBE SOME OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR YOUR SATURDAY AFTERNOON. SATURDAY EVENING LOOKS TO BE PRETTY QUIET. NOT A BIG RAIN CHANCE, ALTHOUGH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS COULD HAPPEN BEFORE MIDNIGHT ACROSS THE EAST AND THE SOUTHEAST. BUT OVERALL TEMPERATURES ARE TRENDING ABOVE AVERAGE AS WE MOVE TO THE LONG TERM FORECAST. FOUR CORNERS REGION. WE’RE STARTING OFF MILD IN THE MORNING. A LOT OF MIDDLE AND UPPER 50S TO START OFF, WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES TRENDING ABOVE AVERAGE, 90 DEGREE TEMPS ARE GOING TO STICK AROUND. I THINK THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK WILL BE TOMORROW. WITH THAT 95 DEGREE HIGH FOR FARMINGTON. BUT OVERALL THE TREND IS ABOVE AVERAGE AND VERY WARM. 80S WILL BE THE NORM ACROSS THE SOUTH AND THE WEST. THAT MEANS SILVER CITY. YOU HAVE WALL TO WALL SUNSHINE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AND MILD MORNING STARTS, SO NOT TOO TERRIBLY COLD EACH AND EVERY NIGHT. TRIPLE DIGITS ARE MAKING A COMEBACK. WE’VE GOT A SHOT AT IT FOR ROSWELL, CARLSBAD AND HOBBS. WE COULD SEE THOSE LOWER 100 POPPING IN AS EARLY AS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THEN WE’RE GOING TO HOVER NEAR THAT 100 DEGREE MARK FOR THE MAJORITY OF NEXT WEEK. IT’S GOING TO BE A PRETTY NICE START TOMORROW. LAS VEGAS AND LAS VEGAS AND RATON WILL BE QUIET IN THE MORNING, MID AFTERNOON AND EVENING, THOUGH, WE’RE GOING TO INCREASE OUR CLOUDS AND BRING IN THAT SPOT. SHOWER CHANCE FOR SATURDAY NIGHT. SO RAIN GEAR MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA. CLEARING OUT SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AND THEN WARMING UP INTO THOSE UPPER 80S FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK. SPITZER SPRINKLE A POSSIBILITY FOR SANTA FE LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON, BUT OVERALL, I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE GREAT IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT TO THE FESTIVAL DOWN AT THE PLAZA AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. COMFORTABLE 80S WILL PREVAIL. A SPOT SHOWER IS POSSIBLE. LATE DAY TOMORROW FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO, BUT THE MAJORITY OF OUR WEEKEND WILL BE BREEZY, HOT AND DRY
