Extreme Heat continues today with more Heat Advisories, today could be the hottest of the week!
Heat expected to gradually ease over the weekend, storm chances bump up a little
FRIDAY MORNING. IT’S STILL DARK ON SUNRISE, ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY HERE OVER THE WEEKEND, WE DO DROP THE HIGH TEMPERATURES, BUT WE’RE LITERALLY LIKE SHAVING A COUPLE DEGREES OFF THE ICE BLOCK HERE. THAT’S IT. STORM CHANCES BUMP UP A LITTLE BIT OVER THE WEEKEND, BUT NEXT WEEK IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER RUN OF THESE ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. AND BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK, WE MAY BE BACK TO TALKING ABOUT THREATENING RECORDS. THE HEAT DOME STILL OVERHEAD. SO TODAY’S TEMPERATURES EVERY BIT AS HOT AS THEY’VE BEEN ALL WEEK LONG. BUT THERE’S GOING TO BE A PUSH COMING IN FROM THE NORTH AND WEST HERE FROM THIS COLD FRONT. AND WE’LL START TO WORK THAT HEAT DOME A LITTLE FURTHER TO THE SOUTH OVER THE WEEKEND. AND THAT’S WHY WE CAN DROP THE NUMBERS. BUT TODAY, FARMINGTON STILL UP AT 98. WE EXPECT ANOTHER 99 FOR ALBUQUERQUE AND A 105 FOR ROSWELL THROUGH THE CENTRAL. AND, YOU KNOW, WEST AND NORTH, WE HAVE THIS CHANCE AT THE SCATTERED TO ISOLATED GUSTY THUNDERSHOWERS COULD HAVE MORE VIRGA THAN ANYTHING ELSE, WHICH IS THE EVAPORATING RAIN HEAT ADVISORIES CONTINUE TODAY FOR THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY, CHAVEZ COUNTY AREAS AROUND EL PASO, A DRY LIGHTNING STRIKE POTENTIAL HERE THROUGH THE CENTRAL, WEST AND NORTH WHERE WE HAVE THIS ISOLATED, GUSTY, THUNDERSHOWER CHANCE. SO BE AWARE THERE COULD BE A NEW WILDFIRE START FROM THAT. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS A REALITY IN NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO. WE CANNOT RULE OUT SOME DAMAGING WIND GUSTS POTENTIAL UP AROUND THE RATON, VEGAS AND CLAYTON AREA OVERNIGHT. TONIGHT, SHOWERS TEND TO WIND DOWN. THERE WILL BE A FEW COOL SPOTS DOWN IN THE 50S, BUT MOST OF US STILL HOLDING THE 60S AND 70S ON THOSE OVERNIGHT LOWS. TOMORROW, WE’RE ONLY TAKING LIKE A DEGREE OFF OUR AFTERNOON HIGHS SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE WAY OF LATER DAY STORM COVERAGE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE SOUTHWEST. BUT I THINK ALBUQUERQUE CATCHES A SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCE LATE IN THE DAY OF A THUNDERSHOWER. BUT WE’RE STILL BACK UP AT 98 IN ALBUQUERQUE, AND ROSWELL HITS 104 IN NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO. WE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE CONCERNED ABOUT A LITTLE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL COULD HAVE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL. SUNDAY’S STORM FEEL PRETTY EQUIVALENT TO SATURDAY, A BIT OF AN UPTICK OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS, BUT WE’RE ONLY IN THAT 20 AND 30% STORM CHANCE RANGE. FOR A LOT OF US, THAT’S A 95 DEGREE HIGH IN ALBUQUERQUE. COOLEST DAY OF THE WEEKEND. WELL, FARMINGTON AND NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO, FOUR CORNERS. WE’RE DOWN LIKE A DEGREE OR TWO FROM YESTERDAY, BUT IT’S STILL 94 OR 95 THERE FOR GALLUP GRANTS. DURANGO AND CORTEZ. AND LOOK AT CHINLE AT 97. FARMINGTON, ABOUT 98. WE’LL TAKE IT DOWN THREE TOMORROW AND ANOTHER TWO SUNDAY. 93 IS AS LOW AS WE GO SUNDAY, MONDAY BEFORE WE’RE BACK IN THOSE MIDDLE AND UPPER 90S LATER IN THE WEEK. HERE’S SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO 96 TODAY IN SILVER CITY. THE 102 AND 103 OFF THE MOUNTAINS AREN’T QUITE ENOUGH FOR A HEAT ADVISORY, BUT STILL AN ABSOLUTE SCORCHER. HIGH TERRAIN STORMS THERE THROUGH PORTIONS OF GRANT COUNTY AND UP INTO CATRON COUNTY, BUT MAINLY DRY AROUND SILVER CITY. THE WEEKEND DOES BRING AN INCREASE IN STORM CHANCES, ESPECIALLY BY SUNDAY. WE’RE DOWN TO 90 SUNDAY AND 89 MONDAY BEFORE WE KIND OF STEADY BACK INTO THOSE LOWER 90S NEXT WEEK. HERE’S THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE STATE NEAR 90 TODAY IN RUIDOSO. AND LOOK AT THE TRIPLE DIGITS FROM FORT SUMNER DOWN THROUGH ROSWELL AND CARLSBAD. ROSWELL IS 105, HAS ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT, 104 IS NOT GOOD FOR HEAT ADVISORY, BUT THAT’S ONLY ONE LESS DEGREE. SATURDAY WE ARE DOWN AT 99 SUNDAY WITH A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE AT A THUNDERSHOWER. HOW ABOUT 95 FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY? HERE’S NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO STILL TALKING ABOUT 90 DEGREE AFTERNOONS FOR JUST ABOUT EVERY COMMUNITY IN SANTA ROSA HITS ONE ON ONE, THERE’S THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED, GUSTY THUNDERSHOWER TODAY. REMEMBER, WE CANNOT RULE OUT SOME DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. COULD HAVE SOME REAL STRONG VIRGA SHOWERS THUNDERSHOWER CHANCES A LITTLE HIGHER BOTH WEEKEND AFTERNOONS. MONDAY DOWN AT 79. THAT’S THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCE OF THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. AND THEN STORM CHANCES LOWER A BIT TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY FOR NORTH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. WE HIT 90 TODAY IN LOS ALAMOS, 91 IN TAOS, 93 SANTA FE. LOOK AT ESPANOLA UP AT 97. SO NO HEAT RELIEF TODAY. WE’RE ONLY DOWN ONE DEGREE TOMORROW WITH A SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCE AT A STORM. WE WILL KEEP THOSE HIGHS IN THE 80S FOR A FEW DAYS STRETCH. SO EARLY NEXT WEEK BEFORE WE’RE BACK TO ABOUT 90 BY WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO. WELL, THE 99 AT THE SUNPORT LOOK AT THOSE TRIPLE DIGITS IN THE RIVER VALLEY. THE 99 TODAY WOULD BE A RECORD BREAKER. THE RECORD ON THE BOOKS IS 98. STILL JUST A 10% CHANCE TODAY. A LITTLE HIGHER, 20% FOR BOTH WEEKEND DAYS. WE’RE DOWN TO 95 SUNDAY AND 90 DEGREES FOR HIGHS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THAT’S AS LOW AS OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES GO. AS WE GO BACK TO 10% STORM CHANCES. WEDNESDAY. THURSDAY WE ARE BACK TO
