Cold mornings and warmer afternoons
Above average afternoon temperatures expected most of the week
COLD NIGHT ACROSS NEW MEXICO. BUT OLGA, YOU’RE TRACKING MILDER TEMPS THIS WEEK. YEAH, WE HAD A MILD DECEMBER. THEN WE HAD THAT COLD BLAST FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF JANUARY, AND NOW WE’RE GOING TO KIND OF MODERATE A LITTLE BIT LATER ON THIS WEEK. AND IT’S ALL TO DO WITH HIGH PRESSURE. NOT ONLY THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM HERE OVER THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT. THERE’S ANOTHER ONE OFF TO THE PACIFIC. IT IS COMING OUR WAY FOR TOMORROW AND THE DAY AFTER. SO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE MILDER THAN AVERAGE. TODAY’S HIGHS WERE PRETTY IMPRESSIVE ACROSS SOME OF OUR SOUTHERN ZONES. WE MADE IT INTO THE 50S FOR SEVERAL LOCATIONS. WE GOT INTO THE LOW 70S IN AND AROUND TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A ERROR WITH THE REPORTING STATION THERE, BUT YES, TEMPERATURES WERE THAT MILD ACROSS SOME OF THOSE SOUTHERN ZONES WILL DEFINITELY SEE THIS TREND CONTINUING. HIGH PRESSURE IS HERE TO STAY, AT LEAST FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BEFORE THE NEXT FRONTS COME THROUGH. BUT WE WILL ALSO SEE THAT WARMING TREND EACH AND EVERY DAY, ADDING A COUPLE OF DEGREES TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND INTO THURSDAY BEFORE WE START TO COOL THINGS DOWN ONCE AGAIN. YOU CAN EXPECT THESE ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPS TO STICK AROUND, BUT THE OVERNIGHT LOWS THEY’RE GOING TO STAY ON THE CHILLY SIDE. RIGHT NOW WE ARE DOING PRETTY WELL IN AND AROUND SANTA FE. WE HAVE TEMPERATURES IN THE 20S, CLEAR SKIES AND YEP, THERE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A CHILL EARLY MORNING. SO IF YOU’RE GETTING UP EARLY, MAYBE GETTING BACK TO WORK AND SCHOOL ROUTINE, IT’S GOING TO BE PRETTY CHILLY TOMORROW MORNING. IF YOU’RE STEPPING OUT DURING THOSE EARLY MORNING HOURS. BY 6 A.M., WE’RE NEAR 25 DEGREES. OUR WINDS ARE GOING TO BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE FROM TIME TO TIME AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. BUT THE GOOD NEWS WITH THIS HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM, WE ARE STAYING DRY, SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO REALLY WORRY ABOUT PRECIPITATION SO MUCH UNTIL THAT FRONT COMES THROUGH. FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE FORECAST FOR OUR WIND CHILL, OR WHAT I LIKE TO CALL OUR FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE BY EARLY MORNING HOURS, IT’S DEFINITELY GOING TO FEEL THAT CHILL. A LOT OF US ARE GOING TO BE FEELING LIKE TEENS. EVEN SOME TEN TENS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES, BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO LAST TOO LONG. 6 A.M. TO 10 A.M. THINGS IMPROVE DRAMATICALLY, IN FACT, THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE QUITE COMFORTABLE, ESPECIALLY IN TOWARD THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BUT AGAIN ON MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. WE’RE GOING TO DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN. SOME FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL DEFINITELY BE IN THAT CHALLENGING REALM. IF YOU ARE GETTING OUT AND ABOUT EARLY. AS LONG AS WE HAVE THIS HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IN OUR VICINITY, WE’RE GOING TO KEEP IT QUIET TONIGHT. MAINLY CLEAR SKIES. COUPLE OF CLOUDS ARE TRYING TO PUSH IN ACROSS A FEW OF OUR SOUTHERN ZONES. THESE ARE FAIR WEATHER CLOUDS, MAINLY HIGH THIN CLOUDS, SO NOT CAUSING US ANY PRECIPITATION. BUT THE DAYTIME HIGHS. THAT’S WHAT WE’VE GOT OUR EYE ON. THINGS ARE REALLY RAMPING UP. NOT ONLY WILL WE SEE SOLID 50 DEGREE TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE BOARD TOMORROW AFTERNOON, AND TOMORROW EVENING, WE’RE GOING TO ADD TO THAT AS WE MOVE ON INTO WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. FOUR CORNERS REGION, INCLUDING SOUTHERN COLORADO, NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF NEW MEXICO. IT’S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE COLD IN THE MORNING. A LOT OF TEENS, EVEN A SINGLE DIGIT POSSIBILITY IN AND AROUND GALLUP AND BUT FOR THE LONG TERM, THOUGH, OUT OF THE 40S AND INTO THE 50S, SO IT’S FEELING A LITTLE BIT MILDER TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. WE’LL KEEP THE CLOUDS AWAY. SOUTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES, WHICH MEANS THAT SILVER CITY IS GOING TO MAKE IT INTO THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 50S FOR MUCH OF THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. DRY FORECAST IS DEFINITELY ON TAP FOR THE SOUTHEAST SUNSHINE. WALL TO WALL COLD MORNING TEMPERATURES FOR SURE, BUT THOSE DAYTIME HIGHS ARE GOING TO FEEL GREAT ONCE WE GET TO 67 BY WEDNESDAY AND A QUIET STRETCH. AT LAST FOR LAS VEGAS, RATON AND RED RIVER WHERE WE’RE GOING TO HANG OUT MAINLY INTO THE 50S WITH A POP OF MAYBE LOWER 60S FROM TIME TO TIME. SANTA FE, YOU’RE COOL TOMORROW, BUT WARMING UP NICELY THROUGH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY IN THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO IS GOING TO KEEP THE CLOUDS AWAY FOR TOMORROW, AND WE WILL SEE THOSE COLD MORNING LOW
