WAKING UP TO A VERY COLD DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE. THERE’S 25 DEGREES RIGHT NOW. TEMPERATURES START THEIR COMEBACK TODAY. AND, YOU KNOW, GOING FORWARD, WHILE WE WILL BE RUNNING MILD FOR THE TIME OF YEAR, IT’S ONLY A LITTLE ABOVE AVERAGE, NOT WAY ABOVE AVERAGE LIKE WE HAVE BEEN DOING SO FREQUENTLY THIS WINTER SEASON. NO ADDITIONAL CHANCES OF RAIN OR SNOW COMING, AT LEAST IN THIS SEVEN DAY WINDOW. JUST RECAPPING THE RECORD. COLD. THAT IS NOT DONE YET FOR YOU IN ROSWELL, BUT ROSWELL. THE LAST TIME YOU WERE ABOVE FREEZING WAS FRIDAY, WHEN WE TOPPED OUT AT 38 DEGREES THROUGH THIS VERY COLD STRETCH, WE BROKEN RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES FOR SUNDAY, MONDAY, AND ALREADY THIS TUESDAY MORNING AND YESTERDAY’S 19 DEGREE HIGH TEMPERATURE THAT BROKE THE RECORD FOR THE COLDEST HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR THE DAY. NOW, THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW HERE, THE JET STREAM WINDS ARE NOT NEARLY AS AMPLIFIED. AND STARTING TO DIRECT THAT BITTER COLD OFF TO THE EAST. SO WE DO TREND MILDER WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL. ALL THE ACTIVE WEATHER IS GOING TO GET PUSHED UP INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. HERE YOU GO. ROSWELL. IT’S NOT A LOT, BUT WE’VE GOT HIGH AT 33 TODAY, SO THAT WOULD END OUR STREAK OF WELL, ALMOST 96 HOURS BELOW FREEZING. WELL, HOPE WE GET THERE. WE WILL BE IN THE 40S, EVEN SOME POCKETS OF 50S IN WESTERN AND SOUTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO, JUST A TOUCH OF A NORTHWESTERLY BREEZE IN SPOTS. THOSE GUSTS TO 15 IN THE STRONGEST LOCATIONS. GOT YOU AT NINE TONIGHT IN ROSWELL. LOOK AT THAT. SEVEN IN MORIARTY. WE’LL BE BACK DOWN TO THE LOWER 20S FOR ALBUQUERQUE. SO IT’S A DIP BELOW FREEZING STATEWIDE AGAIN TONIGHT WITH A LITTLE PATCHY HIGH CLOUD COVER AROUND. WELL, THIS IS OUR WEDNESDAY. AND LOOK AT ALBUQUERQUE HITTING 50 DEGREES. THAT’S AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR ROSWELL WE ONLY GOT YOU AT 39. BUT IT IS ANOTHER STEP FURTHER WARMER THAN TODAY’S 33. SO WE’RE TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE AN EAST, CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO. A LITTLE BREEZY ON OUR WEDNESDAY. THIS IS THURSDAY AND WE CONTINUE TO MAKE THESE SMALL GAINS MORE NOTICEABLE THOUGH HERE IN THE SOUTHEAST. YEAH. BY THURSDAY WE DO SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR ROSWELL TO HIT 50 DEGREES. THAT WILL FEEL LIKE A HEAT WAVE. STILL A TOUCH OF A NORTHWESTERLY BREEZE IN SPOTS ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON. HERE YOU GO. FOUR CORNERS FORECAST. IT’S LOW AND MID 40S TODAY. 18 WILL BE TONIGHT’S LOW IN FARMINGTON. GOT YOU AT 46 TOMORROW. WHEN COULD WE EKE OUT A 50? WELL, MAYBE FRIDAY OR MORE. SO SATURDAY HERE’S SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO. AND YOU KNOW WE’RE IN THE LOW MID 50S TODAY. WE CONTINUE THAT STEP BY STEP WARMING TO ALMOST 60 ON THURSDAY. AND WE’LL KEEP IT RIGHT AROUND 60 GIVE OR TAKE. OR MAYBE SLIGHTLY BELOW INTO AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HERE’S SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. YEAH WE’VE GOT YOU ABOVE FREEZING. THAT’S THE FIRST MILESTONE WE NEED TO CLEAR HERE IN ROSWELL. BUT IT’S ONLY A 33 DEGREE HIGH. COULD HIT 40 IN CARLSBAD. WE’VE GOT THE EXTREME COLD WARNINGS, THE COLD WEATHER ADVISORIES, THE FREEZING FOG WARNINGS IN EFFECT THIS MORNING. SO IT IS AN IMPACT WEATHER MORNING. BE VERY CAREFUL ON THE ROADS IN THIS CORNER OF THE STATE. NINE. TONIGHT’S LOW 39 TOMORROW. THERE’S THAT 51 ON THURSDAY. THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF A COOLDOWN COMING FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND THOUGH. HERE’S NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO HIGHS IN THE 40S TODAY. 16 WILL BE TONIGHT IN LAS VEGAS. LOOK AT TOMORROW UP AT 54. WE DO BOUNCE UP AND DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT GOING FORWARD. BUT THOSE HIGHS STAY PRETTY CLOSE TO 50 ON A DAILY BASIS. NORTH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO IN THE 40S THIS AFTERNOON. WELL NOT SO MUCH IN COMMON RED RIVER BUT ESPANOLA IS UP AT 47. GOT SANTA FE, LOS ALAMOS, TAOS IN THE LOWER 40S. 21 WILL BE TONIGHT’S LOW. WE EVENTUALLY WORK THAT HIGH UP TOWARDS 50 DEGREES, BUT MAYBE NOT UNTIL THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND. FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO. MAKING PROGRESS. YESTERDAY’S HIGH 41 GOT THE SUNPORT AT 48 TODAY. THAT’S STILL BELOW AVERAGE, BUT WE GET TO THAT 50 DEGREE AVERAGE
Extreme Cold Warnings, Cold Weather and Freezing Fog Advisories in effect again this morning
Temperatures start to turn around and warm up a little for us today
It’s another very cold morning, especially across northern and eastern New Mexico. Wind chill values are down near zero or even below in these spots, and it is going to be another morning with a very slow warm up. Later this afternoon though we expect to make some gains with highs running about 5-7 degrees warmer than yesterday.For Roswell we have the forecast high at 33 degrees today, and while that may not sound like much, it will be the first time above freezing since Friday afternoon’s 38 degree high! Roswell has broken record low temperatures 3 mornings in a row during this stretch, and yesterday’s 19 degree high also broke a record for the coldest high temperature for the date!Going forward temperatures will continue to make small gains, and we’re eventually above average again later this week, but only by a few degrees. Rain and snow chances are still looking zeroed out, at least through Monday of next week. Later next week we may finally have some rain and mountain snow chances to talk about, chances that look like they will favor southern New Mexico more than the northern half of the state.
