Record Warmth Today and Winds Pick Up Sunday
Red Flag Warning In Effect This Afternoon.
HEY, GOOD MORNING, NEW MEXICO. IT IS 614 TODAY. IT’S GOING TO BE THOSE RECORD TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE FOR THIS AFTERNOON. BUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO SUNDAY, THAT’S IMPACT. WHETHER WE’RE TALKING IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF THE WINDS. NORTHWEST WINDS AT 30 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR. WIND GUSTS COULD POSSIBLY BE REACHING 60 TO 70 MILES AN HOUR. THIS DOES INCLUDE THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO AREA. HIGH WIND WATCH WILL BE IN EFFECT OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. SO AROUND 3 A.M. UNTIL 6 P.M. SO IT’S GOING TO BE BREEZY OUT THERE FOR TODAY. ABOUT 20 TO 30 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS RIGHT NOW. AND THEN YOU COULD SEE 80 DEGREE TEMPERATURES FOR ALBUQUERQUE, POSSIBLY SETTING A NEW RECORD ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF AREAS GOING TO BE HITTING THE 90S TODAY. PARTLY CLOUDY SKY OUT THERE. AND THEN WINDS PICK UP AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. GOING TO FEEL COOLER AS WELL. 30S, 40S OUT THERE, LOW 50S FOR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. WE SEE THIS BACK DOOR COLD FRONT PUSHING IN. AND THIS IS WHY AHEAD OF THAT COLD FRONT, THOSE WINDS ARE GOING TO START TO PICK UP. AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW, WE’RE TALKING DANGEROUSLY STRONG WINDS. YOU CAN SEE SUNNY OUT THERE. STILL GOING TO BE PRETTY MILD IN THE 70S AND 80S ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE, BUT NOTICEABLY COOLER FOR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. WE’RE HITTING 40S AND 50S FOR OUR HIGHS TOMORROW AFTERNOON. BUT LOOK AT THESE WIND GUSTS. STRONGEST WINDS FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO AREA GOING TO BE SUNDAY MORNING. YOU CAN SEE OVER 20 TO 30 MILES AN HOUR, ABOUT 60 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS IN THE SANTA ROSA AREA. SO FOR EASTERN NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE COULD POSSIBLY BE SEEING THE STRONGEST WIND GUSTS. AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SO YOU CAN SEE ALL ACROSS THE STATE, WE DO HAVE HIGH WIND WATCHES IN EFFECT. THAT ALSO INCLUDES THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO AREA, THE WESTERN MOUNTAIN AREAS. THESE ARE ALSO AREAS THAT WE HAVE SEEN MODERATE TO SEVERE DROUGHT. SO THAT’S ALSO GOING TO ELEVATE THAT FIRE WEATHER RISK AS WELL AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW. SO TODAY WE DO HAVE A RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FOR NORTHEASTERN THE EASTERN CENTRAL HIGHLAND AREAS. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IS EXTENDED FIRE WEATHER.
