Cold mornings with warming afternoons

BRIBERY IN SPORTING CONTESTS AND CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT WIRE FRAUD. ALL RIGHT. WE CONTINUE TO ENJOY ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. AND, OLGA, YOU’RE TRACKING TEMPERATURE SWINGS AND SOME WIND OUT EAST. YES. THINGS ARE VERY DIFFERENT DAY TO DAY, ESPECIALLY AS WE PASS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WE HAVE A COLD FRONT SWINGING THROUGH NOW. WE’LL SEE ANOTHER ONE TOMORROW. AND YES, SOME FLUCTUATION IN TEMPERATURES FOR SURE. SO FAR, HERE’S WHAT WE’VE SEEN AS FAR AS OUR PEAK WIND GUSTS OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS. NOT SO BAD, YOU SAY, BUT AS WE MOVE FORWARD TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW, THAT’S WHEN WE’RE GOING TO SEE SOME MORE OF THAT GUSTING OCCUR, ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOME OF OUR SOUTHERN ZONES. HERE ARE WHERE THE WIND GUSTS ARE CURRENTLY DURING THE 5:00 HOUR, PREDOMINANTLY IN THAT CENTRAL EASTERN PORTION OF THE STATE. FAST FORWARD A BIT INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. WE’LL SEE THAT SHIFT PUSH OFF TOWARD THE EAST TONIGHT. THEN OVERNIGHT WE’RE GOING TO RAMP UP SOME OF THAT WIND, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN BORDER OF NEW MEXICO WITH TEXAS. AND THAT’S WHERE WE COULD SEE SOME PRETTY TROUBLESOME WINDS IN AND AROUND TUCUMCARI, CLOVIS AND EVEN HOBBS GETTING IN ON SOME OF THAT ACTION INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS LOOKS LIKE BY THE TIME WE GET TO FRIDAY, EVERYBODY IS IN THE CLEAR, SO THINGS WILL BE OKAY BY FRIDAY, MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON. RIGHT NOW IT’S A PRETTY NICE EVENING FOR US HERE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO. WE HAVE 55 AT THE SUNPORT, 51 IN SANTA FE, LOWER 50S FOR RIO RANCHO. BUT THAT SUNSET, IT IS A BEAUTY. TODAY. WE’VE KEPT OUR WINDS BACK QUITE A BIT, MAINLY OUT OF THE SOUTH AND THE SOUTHEAST. OUR WINDS FEELING PRETTY COMFORTABLE HERE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO, AND WE WON’T FEEL TOO MUCH OF AN EFFECT FROM THE FRONT THAT’S SWINGING THROUGH WHERE WE HAVE SEEN SOME COOLER AIR, THAT POCKET OF COOL AIR OFF TOWARD THE NORTH, KEEPING TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S. MOST OF US THIS EVENING ARE SITTING IN THE 50S, AND WE DEFINITELY HAVE SOME 60S ACROSS THE EAST. IT’S BEEN A PRETTY MILD EVENING, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE A COLD NIGHT TONIGHT. WINDS WILL STAY UNDER TEN MILES PER HOUR WITH CLEAR SKIES. THOSE TEMPERATURES, THEY ARE GOING TO DIP. SO BE PREPARED. IF YOU’RE STARTING OUT EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. LET’S GET YOUR FUTURE TRACK PLANNER GOING OVERNIGHT TONIGHT FROM 10 P.M. TO 7 A.M. HERE COMES THE FRONT. THE BACK END OF THAT BACK DOOR FRONT REALLY WHIPPING UP SOME OF THE WINDS ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE. WE MIGHT SEE A FEW HIGH THIN CLOUDS SHOW UP, BUT YOU CAN COUNT ON A VERY COLD START TO FRIDAY MORNING. THEN FRIDAY MIDDAY INTO THE AFTERNOON, MAINLY CLEAR. WE’LL GET A LOT OF SUNSHINE THAT’S GOING TO HELP THESE MIDDAY TEMPERATURES BUMP UP INTO THE 50S AND 60S AGAIN. BUT NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE OFF TOWARD THE EAST BECAUSE OF THAT FRONT. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TEMPERATURE DIPS WE’RE GOING TO HOLD BACK TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND TOMORROW EVENING FOR A LOT OF OUR EASTERN LOCATIONS. NOW LOOKING FAR INTO THE FUTURE, GOING TO THIS TIME NEXT WEEK, WE’VE GOT OUR EYES OUT FOR THE NEXT STORM POTENTIAL COMING OUR WAY. NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE RIGHT NOW, BUT WE COULD SEE SOME RAIN POSSIBILITIES. MAYBE LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY, BUT OVERALL, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WILL BE A PRETTY QUICK MOVE FOR WITHOUT A TERRIBLE AMOUNT OF IMPACT FOR CORNERS. YOU ARE HEADED FOR A COLD NIGHT TONIGHT. TEENS AND 20S, BUT THEN NOT SO BAD. HOVERING NEAR THE 50 DEGREE MARK ALMOST ALL OF NEXT WEEK AND DEFINITELY KEEPING THAT RAIN AWAY. SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF NEW MEXICO WILL DEFINITELY SEE SOME SUNSHINE, BUT WE’LL MIX IT UP WITH SOME CLOUD COVER PUSHING IN ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY, BUMPING OUR TEMPERATURES WITH A WESTERLY WIND FLOW BY MONDAY UP INTO THE 60S. SO FEELING A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE SPRINGTIME. HERE IS THE DIP WE’VE BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT FOR THE SOUTHEAST TOMORROW 55 ON FRIDAY, 49 BY SATURDAY. SHORT LIVED THOUGH, WE’LL GET ANOTHER DIP AND DIVE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND. IT’S GOING TO BE A QUIET STRETCH. WE LIKE IT THAT WAY FOR LAS VEGAS, RATON AND RED RIVER, WHERE TEMPERATURES MODERATE JUST A LITTLE BIT, ESPECIALLY WITH THAT HIGH TEMPERATURE ON SUNDAY. COLD MORNING STARTS ARE GUARANTEED, BUT WE WILL GET THE SUNSHINE GOING FOR SANTA FE TOMORROW, SO BE PREPARED FOR PRETTY NICE WEEKEND ON TAP AND FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO. WE’RE FINISHING OFF THE WORKWEEK WITH HIGHS IN THE 50S.
