Warm on Sunday and into next week
The second half of the weekend warms up, fire danger continues east and northeast.
GRAPHIC ON OUR TIME CHANGE AS WE MOVE TO DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME. NOW THIS BASICALLY KICKS IN OFFICIALLY AT 2 A.M. THAT MEANS THAT IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO MOVE THOSE CLOCKS BACK TO NIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP. THAT WAY YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. ALL OF YOUR DIGITAL DEVICES AND ANYTHING ELECTRONIC ALREADY HAS A PROGRAM BUILT IN TO MAKE THAT SWITCH, BUT SOME OF THOSE MANUAL CLOCKS MAY BE ON THE MICROWAVE OR THE THE OVEN AND THINGS LIKE THAT. YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE THAT MANUAL CHANGE. EVEN SOME CARS, YOU HAVE TO STILL DO MANUAL FLIP. ON SATURDAY, OUR SUNRISE TODAY WAS A LITTLE BIT EARLY AT 627. WE’RE GOING TO BUMP THAT BACK BY ALMOST AN HOUR TOMORROW, BUT THE BONUS IS THAT SUNSET TOMORROW AT 7:08 P.M. WE WILL CONTINUE WITH SUNRISE WITH SUNSETS AFTER 7:00 UNTIL WE GET WELL INTO SEPTEMBER. SO HERE WE ARE LOOKING AT OUR CURRENT CONDITIONS. IT’S PRETTY NICE EVENING. WE’RE GOING TO KEEP OUR SKIES CLEAR. IT WILL BE COOL AFTER SUNSET. SO IF YOU’RE STEPPING OUT FOR YOUR SATURDAY NIGHT, MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THAT JACKET WITH YOU. YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO ON IT AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN. WE HAVE WINDS OUT OF THE WEST AND SANTA FE RIGHT NOW. GORGEOUS VIEW WITH THAT BLUE SKY OVER THE MOUNTAIN TOPS, AND IT’S GOING TO BE A PRETTY COOL NIGHT TONIGHT. NOT SO BAD RIGHT NOW WITH EVERYBODY IN THOSE UPPER 50S LOWER 60S FOR THE MOST PART. BUT THINGS ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO BE CHANGING IN THE NEXT TWO HOURS. YOU CAN EXPECT A PRETTY COOL NIGHT TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES ARE GOING BACK DOWN NEAR THAT FREEZING MARK EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. WE WILL KEEP IT SUNNY TOMORROW, BUT ABOVE OUR TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BIT. SO CALLING FOR SOME MILDER TEMPS AND THE RAIN AND SNOW OPPORTUNITIES ARE RISING NEXT WEEK, BUT ONLY FOR PARTS OF THE VIEWING AREA. DETAIL THAT FOR YOU IN JUST A MOMENT. FOR THE REMAINDER OF TODAY AND EVEN FOR TOMORROW, WE HAVE SOME FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. THESE ALERTS ARE BASICALLY FOR THE EASTERN AND NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE. THE FIRE WEATHER WARNINGS OR RED FLAG WARNINGS UP UNTIL SUNDAY AT 8 P.M., BUT WE’RE GOING TO HOLD ON TO SOME FIRE WEATHER WATCHES IN PARTS OF THE VIEWING AREA WELL INTO MONDAY EVENING. HERE’S WHERE WE STAND FOR THURSDAY. THIS IS PART OF THAT BIG WARM UP COMING THIS WEEK. THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ARE GOING TO BE PRETTY WARM, BUT WE WILL BE IN RECORD CHALLENGING TERRITORY COME THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY EVENING, SO WE’RE GOING TO KEEP AN EYE ON THAT AS WELL. FOR THE SHORT TERM THOUGH, WE’RE LOOKING GOOD OVERNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE IS WELL OFF TO OUR EAST, BUT AS IT SHIFTS OUT A LITTLE BIT, WE’LL SEE A LITTLE CLOUD COVER. TRY TO INFILTRATE A FEW OF OUR SOUTHERN ZONES, PARTICULARLY DOWN TOWARD CARLSBAD AND HOBBS, AS WE MOVE ON INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. BUT WITH THOSE COOL MORNING TEMPERATURES, THEY’RE NOT GOING TO LAST TOO LONG. WE’RE GOING TO BUMP UP VERY QUICKLY, GET INTO THE 60S AND BY LUNCHTIME, AND EVEN SEE SOME 70S ACROSS THE BOARD TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND TOMORROW EVENING. SO THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THAT WARMING CHANGE. COOL MORNING LOWS 18 TOMORROW FOR CORTEZ, 19 FOR GALLUP. FARMINGTON WILL SEE A LOT OF SUNSHINE AND MAKE IT INTO THE LOWER 60S FOR SUNDAY, BUT UPPER 60S BY MONDAY. AND WE’RE GOING TO KEEP THAT TREND OF WARM TEMPERATURES ALL WEEK LONG. RAIN IS COMING TO OUR SOUTHERN AND WESTERN LOCATIONS, PARTICULARLY AS WE MOVE FROM MONDAY NIGHT LATE INTO TUESDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. POSSIBILITY THIS COULD BE IMPACT WEATHER FOR MUCH OF THE DAY ON TUESDAY, SO BE PREPARED FOR THAT IN AND AROUND SILVER CITY. WE’RE LOOKING GREAT IN ROSWELL, CARLSBAD AND HOBBS, AND WE’LL SEE A COUPLE OF 80 DEGREE TEMPS COMING IN LATER ON THIS WEEK WITH A SLIGHT RAIN CHANCE BY TUESDAY. THE FORECAST IS GOING TO BE SUNNY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND LOOKS JUST FINE FOR LAS VEGAS, RATON AND RED RIVER, BUT WATCH OUT WHEN WE GET FROM MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THAT’S WHEN THAT NEXT SYSTEM IS GOING TO COOL US DOWN, OR OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE GOING TO GET MUCH COLDER, BUT MUCH NEEDED RAIN IS ALSO ON THE WAY FOR US. IT’S GOING TO BE FAIRLY NICE AFTERNOON FOR SUNDAY SANTA FE. ENJOY WHAT’S LEFT OF THE WEEKEND FORECAST BEFORE THAT RAIN TRIES TO PUSH ON IN TUESDAY TO SUNDAY. MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY IS THE TIME FRAME TO REALLY LOOK OUT FOR, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, IT’S GOING TO BE A GREAT ONE FOR US TOMORROW. IS THAT TURN BACK THE CLOCK. SPRING FORWARD DAY. PUT YOUR CLOCKS FORWARD O
