Quiet and mild weather pattern continues
Temperatures staying above average with wind for parts of the state
AGAIN TODAY, BUT COLD AIR HAS SETTLED IN ACROSS THE EAST. OLGA. IT HAS, AND I HAVE A WIDER MAP TO SHOW YOU HERE. THERE’S A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OFF TO OUR WEST, A TROUGH OFF TO OUR EAST, AND WE’RE KIND OF SANDWICHED IN THE MIDDLE. SO OUR WIND FLOWS MAINLY OUT OF THE NORTH AND THE NORTHWEST. THAT IS PROVIDING FOR SOME COLD TEMPERATURES, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THAT NORTHERN TIER AND THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN PORTION OF THE STATE. THE WINDS HAVE REALLY DIALED BACK QUITE A BIT. OUR WIND GUSTS FORECAST DOES CALL FOR MAYBE SOME POCKETS OF GUSTY WINDS HEADING INTO THE 10:00 HOUR, BUT THEN OVERNIGHT, MOST OF THIS SUBSIDES WHEN YOU WAKE UP TOMORROW MORNING BY ABOUT 8:00 OR 9:00. JUST SOME ISOLATED GUSTY SECTIONS, BUT NOWHERE NEAR WHAT WE SAW THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING HOURS. SO THINGS QUIET DOWN FOR THE EVENING. YOU CAN SETTLE IN OUR WIND GUSTS SO FAR LOOKING PRETTY GOOD, ESPECIALLY FOR RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE TEMPERATURES THAT ARE DIPPING INTO THE 30S. WE’RE ALREADY DOWN TO 39 DEGREES AT FARMINGTON RIO RUIDOSO, ONE OF THOSE ZONES AFFECTED BY THAT NORTHWEST WIND FLOW DOWN TO 23 ALREADY. SO PRETTY COLD NIGHT IS AHEAD FOR MANY OF US. WE’VE ALREADY SEEN SOME TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW FREEZING ACROSS OUR NORTHERN TIER. IT’S 21 RIGHT NOW IN RATON AND 19 IN LAS VEGAS. AND DEFINITELY WE’VE COME A LONG WAY FROM THOSE LOW TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING. WILL WE SEE TEENS AND SINGLE DIGITS FOR SOME LOCATIONS AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING? IT’S A POSSIBILITY, ESPECIALLY AS THAT NORTHERN TIER CONTINUES TO COOL. HERE’S HOW WE DID TEMPERATURE WISE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE’VE TOLD YOU ABOUT A SERIES OF BACKDOOR COLD FRONTS MOVING THROUGH THE NORTH AND THE NORTHEAST THAT REALLY HELD THE TEMPERATURES BACK. AND YOU CAN TELL THAT STARK DIFFERENCE 40 FROM MORIARTY TO SANTA FE, CHILLY 30 FOR THE HIGHS TODAY ACROSS THE EAST AND THE NORTHEAST. WE’RE GOING TO KEEP IT QUIET TONIGHT. SO IF YOU’RE STEPPING OUT TO ENJOY YOUR SATURDAY NIGHT, WE WILL STAY CLEAR. AND THEN TEMPERATURES DEFINITELY DIPPING BY THAT 9:00 HOUR. HERE’S YOUR SETUP FOR TOMORROW. I TALKED ABOUT THAT HIGH PRESSURE OFF TOWARDS OUR WEST. IT’S GOING TO GIVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN INFLUENCE TOMORROW. SO WE’RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN WE SAW TODAY. WE’LL ADD JUST A COUPLE OF DEGREES BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. EARLY MORNING TEMPERATURES AGAIN WILL BE QUITE CHILLY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE GETTING OUT EARLY ON SUNDAY. MAYBE TO HEAD TO SUNDAY SERVICES OR TAKE CARE OF SOME ACTIVITIES YOU HAVE ON YOUR PLANNER. BUT CHILLY TEMPERATURES FOR MOST OF US ACROSS THE BOARD AT OR BELOW FREEZING. THEN A NEXT BACKDOOR COLD FRONT STARTS TO MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH BY MIDDAY TOMORROW. FOR THAT NORTHERN AND EASTERN PORTION OF THE STATE, IT’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO SLIDE THROUGH, TAKING ITS SWEET TIME THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON, WITH THOSE DAYTIME HIGHS TRENDING AGAIN ABOVE AVERAGE. FOR MANY OF US, THE LONG TERM FORECAST LOOKS GOOD FOR THE FOUR CORNERS IN SOUTHWESTERN COLORADO, NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO, CLEAR SKIES, TEMPERATURES HOVERING IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 40S FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK BEFORE WE ACTUALLY BUMP IT UP BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. BUT THE CLOUDS SHOULDN’T BRING US ANY RAIN OPPORTUNITIES. IT’S GOING TO BE VERY QUIET FOR SOUTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES. THAT MEANS WE WILL GET INTO THE 50S EACH AND EVERY DAY FOR SILVER CITY. WITH SOME OF OUR WARMER DAYS BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THEN CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE RISE. NOT TOMORROW SO MUCH, BUT MAYBE ON MONDAY FOR THE ROSWELL, CARLSBAD AND HOBBS REGION. THAT IS BECAUSE OF THAT COLD FRONT. TEMPERATURES DROP SIGNIFICANTLY BETWEEN SUNDAY AND MONDAY. IT’S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE SUNSHINE ON TAP TOMORROW. LAS VEGAS, RATON AND RED RIVER. YOUR CHILLY MORNING. LOWS IN THE TEENS. NOT GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON, BUT AT LEAST WE WILL KEEP YOUR FORECAST DRY WITH ALL THAT COLD TEMPERATURES. SANTA FE ENJOYS 40S FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK. WE HAVE A SHOT AT 50 BY THE TIME WE GET TO WEDNESDAY, BUT BASICALLY A CONSISTENT FORECAST ALL AROUND THE THE METRO AREA HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE HAS BEEN TRENDING ABOVE AVERAGE IN THE 50S. WE SHOULD BE SITTING RIGHT AROUND 49 DEGREES. WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO

Quiet and mild weather pattern continuesTemperatures staying above average with wind for parts of the stateA ridge of high pressure off to the west along with a trough to the east is keeping winds out of the north, and making for cooler temperatures in eastern New Mexico. But the winds have died down a lot since earlier in the day Saturday. And winds will be much lighter for Sunday. Then the quiet and mild weather pattern continues for Sunday, with above average temperatures. This trend is expected to continue into the new work week. Rain and snow chances don’t return until next weekend.
