Record high temperatures expected across the state for a warm weekend.
Areas like Albuquerque and several others are expected to see record high temperatures this weekend. Albuquerque should break a record Sunday and Monday, as we go throughout the work week, temperatures will trend in the down direction. Other than that, it looks like we’re gonna remain dry here in New Mexico, no rain in the forecast.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. THE TIME NOW. 623. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE 20 DAYS AWAY FROM THE START OF SPRING, BUT IT’S NOT NECESSARILY FEELING LIKE IT. IT’S PROBABLY GOING TO FEEL LIKE SPRING IS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AND I’LL EXPLAIN WHY NOW AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE CURRENT TEMPERATURES. WE’RE SITTING AT 46 DEGREES. HAVE CLEAR SKIES HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. HERE’S A LOOK AT DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE AND JUST LOOKS PRETTY BEAUTIFUL TO ME. NOW AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEATHER HEADLINES, A LOT OF THAT’S GOING TO BE CENTERED AROUND THE FACT THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE RATHER WARM THIS WEEKEND. WE DO. WE ARE GOING TO BE CHALLENGING RECORDS HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE, ONE OF THE AREAS WHERE WE ARE EXPECTED TO CHALLENGE THE RECORD ACTUALLY EXPECTED TO TIE TODAY, AND ALSO HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THAT HERE IN A SECOND. OTHER THAN THAT, NEXT WEEK’S RAIN CHANCES ARE TRENDING LOW AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO SEE OUR TEMPERATURES DROP AS SOON AS WE BEGIN THE WORKWEEK. GETTING OVER INTO MONDAY. RIGHT NOW, TEMPERATURES ARE INTO THE 40S IN THE 50S FOR A LARGE PORTION OF THE STATE, YOU GO FURTHER NORTH. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE 30S AND 20S CREEPING INTO THE FORECAST. NOW, WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE FORECASTED HIGHS FOR TODAY, THAT’S GOING TO BE RIGHT THERE WHERE WE SEE SATURDAY. BUT YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE RECORD IS FAR OFF TOWARDS THE ALBUQUERQUE ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED TO TIE RECORD AT 76 DEGREES, THIS RECORD HAS STOOD FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS. AND THEN OTHER THAN THAT, WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK. FARMINGTON EXPECTED TO BREAK A RECORD BY TWO DEGREES. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE AREAS LIKE ROSWELL COMING WITHIN ONE DEGREE OF THE RECORD, AND THEN SANTA FE WITHIN FIVE DEGREES OF IT. BUT HERE’S A LOOK AT THE OVERALL HEAT THAT’S GOING TO BE HAPPENING. AS YOU CAN SEE, A LOT OF 70S AND 80S FURTHER OFF TOWARDS THE SOUTH, MORE 60S UP TOWARDS THE NORTH. WE GO OVER INTO TOMORROW. WE BEGIN TO GET A LITTLE BIT WARMER. ALBUQUERQUE GOING TO MAKE IT UP INTO THE 80 DEGREE RANGE. AND FIRST TIME WE’VE SEEN THE 80S THIS YEAR. AND THEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE SOUTHEAST AREA. WELL, THEY ARE GOING TO BE PUSHING 90 DEGREES AS YOU TAKE A LOOK AT ROSWELL. GOING TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY UP TO 89 DEGREES. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE A WARM AND TOASTY WEEKEND. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY OUTDOOR PLANS, I THINK THAT THIS WILL BE A GOOD TIME TO DO IT, ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVEN’T LIKE THE COLD AS OF LATELY. OTHER THAN THAT THOUGH, WHEN WE GET OVER INTO TOMORROW, WE ARE GOING TO BEGIN TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE BREEZY. AS YOU CAN SEE AROUND THE 9:00 HOUR IN THE MORNING, WE ARE GOING TO SEE SOME AREAS THAT ARE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH THOSE WIND GUSTS ABOVE 20MPH, AND THEN AS WE PUSH AHEAD TOWARDS THE AROUND THE 1:00 HOUR, WE ARE GOING TO SEE WIND GUSTS ABOVE 30MPH IN AREAS LIKE MORIARTY, ALSO IN SANTA ROSA. AND THEN AFTER THAT, AS WE GO LATER INTO THE EVENING, THAT’S WHEN THOSE WINDS EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO CALM DOWN. BUT WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZY AFTERNOON IN STORE FOR TOMORROW AS WELL, GOING THROUGH OUR ZONE FORECAST, TAKING A LOOK AT CORTEZ AND DURANGO. THEY’RE BOTH GOING TO MAKE IT UP TO 65 DEGREES. CHINLE, ARIZONA EXPECTED TO MAKE IT UP TO 69 DEGREES 68 DEGREES. THE FORECAST HIGH IN FARMINGTON. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE HOW THEY TURN IT UP A LITTLE BIT, MAKING IT UP TO 72 DEGREES BY THE TIME WE GET OVER TOMORROW, TUESDAY, BEFORE THEY DROP BACK DOWN INTO THE 60S, HEADING FURTHER OFF TOWARDS THE SOUTH WHERE WE DO HAVE SILVER CITY, THEY’LL MAKE IT UP TO 78 DEGREES. THEY’RE GOING TO BE ONE OF THE AREAS THAT ACTUALLY SEES THEIR TEMPERATURE TREND DOWN TOMORROW. AND THEN BY THE TIME WE GET TO TUESDAY, THEY’LL BE DOWN INTO THE 60S. TAKING A LOOK AT ROSWELL, THEY’RE GOING TO BE SITTING AT 86 DEGREES, 89 DEGREES. THAT WILL BE A RECORD HIGH FOR THEM. IF THEY MAKE IT TO THAT TOMORROW. THEN AFTER THAT, YOU BEGIN TO SEE THE TEMPERATURES TREND DOWN. AS SOON AS WE GET OVER INTO MONDAY. AND THEN TAKING A LOOK AT LAS VEGAS, IT’S GOING TO BE 73 DEGREES, THEN 74 TOMORROW. THEN AFTER ONCE WE GET OVER TO MONDAY, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A SIMILAR TREND. WE ARE GOING TO SEE THOSE RECORDS. THOSE TEMPERATURES TREND DOWN FOR A LOT OF AREAS. THEN TAKING A LOOK AT SANTA FE, THEY’RE GOING TO MAKE IT UP TO 6770 DEGREES. ONCE WE GET OVER INTO SUNDAY. AND THEN THE COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE ON THEIR WAY STARTING ON TUESDAY, YOU CAN SEE THEY GET A SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER HERE IN THE METRO AREA. HERE’S A LOOK AT WHAT WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING. MID 70S FOR A LOT OF US. LOW 80S DOWN THERE IN THE VALLEY. AND THEN JUST PUSHING AHEAD. WELL WE’RE FORECASTING FOR A HIGH OF 76 DEGREES TODAY AND THEN 80 TOMORROW. EXPECTED TO BREAK THAT RECORD A OLD ONE OF 74 DEGREES AND THEN EVEN BREAK A RECORD ON MONDAY.
