Wind and fire danger in New Mexico this weekend
Dry gusty winds and fire danger, teen cooler trend ahead for New Mexico following the weekend
YEAH. BYRON, TALK ABOUT WHETHER IT’S NICE. AWESOME. DOUG TAKING SELFIES. SOMETHING THAT WE PROBABLY WON’T SEE AGAIN FOR A LONG TIME. ALL RIGHT. BUT WE LOVE IT. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK. HEY THEY GOT A COOL CAR EVENT GOING ON AT THE PLAZA IN SANTA FE. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK RIGHT NOW. BEAUTIFUL. THAT’S OUR LA FONDA LIVE CAM ON THE PLAZA IN SANTA FE. AND RIGHT NOW, 83 DEGREES REPORTED IN SANTA FE, WITH THE WIND GUSTING TO 25MPH AT THE AIRPORT IN SANTA FE, ALBUQUERQUE. LOOKING AT JUST A FEW CLOUDS IN THE SKY, 85 DEGREES WEST BREEZES AT 11MPH RIGHT NOW, AND A LIVE LOOK FROM THE CREST CAM. PRETTY NICE EVENING SHAPING UP. WE GOT A HIGH FIRE THREAT RIGHT ON THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. BREEZY TO WINDY AND DRY CONDITIONS. A LITTLE COOLER AS WE GET INTO NEXT WEEK AS WELL. THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK. SO THIS FIRE WEATHER WARNINGS NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO, RATON, LAS VEGAS AND TUCUMCARI. CLOVIS. THAT’S TILL 8:00 THIS EVENING. AND THOSE WILL BE REISSUED FOR TOMORROW AND THEN TOMORROW ALSO ALBUQUERQUE AND MORIARTY AND SANTA ROSA, SOCORRO AND RUIDOSO WILL BE INCLUDED IN FIRE WEATHER WATCHES SUNDAY. SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO GETS IN ON THE ACTION. T OR C, SILVER CITY LORDSBURG DEMING, ALSO INTO THE NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF ARIZONA. SO VERY ACTIVE FIRE THREAT PERIOD WITH THOSE WINDS RIGHT NOW GUSTING TO 36MPH IN CLOVIS AND 24MPH IN CARLSBAD. AND YEAH, DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE’VE HAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, EASTERN NEW MEXICO, LOOK AT HOW LOW THE HUMIDITY IS ACROSS ALL PARTS OF THE STATE AND THOSE VERY WARM TO HOT TEMPERATURES OUT THERE. SO YOU SEE SOME ISOLATED, SCATTERED STORMS IN THE SOUTHEAST AND NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO. AND THAT THREAT WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE LARGE THREAT HAS PUSHED INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. DRY WESTERLY FLOW WILL BRING THAT HEIGHTENED FIRE THREAT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WATCH WHAT HAPPENS BY SUNDAY AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. WE’LL SEE THIS TROUGH DIG IN. AND THAT’S GOING TO CRANK UP THE WINDS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY. BUT IT WILL BRING SOME SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES AS WELL. STEP OUT THIS EVENING TO GRAB A BITE TO EAT IN ALBUQUERQUE, OR GO INTO A DINER WITH DOUG, MAYBE 85 DEGREES IS WHAT WE’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’LL SEE A BETTER CHANCE OF MAYBE SOME RAIN AS WE GET TOWARD LATER NEXT WEEK IN SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. THAT WILL BE ECHOED ACROSS NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO. GUSTY WINDS, HIGH FIRE DANGER. BOTH. SUNDAY. MONDAY WILL BE THE WINDIEST DAYS FOR LAS VEGAS. AND THEN NOTICE THOSE RAIN CHANCES THURSDAY. FRIDAY WILL HOPE FOR THAT. IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. WE’RE LOOKING AT DRY CONDITIONS IN TAOS, 82 DEGREES AND 82 IN SANTA FE WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS. WINDY SUNDAY. MONDAY. TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE LOW 70S FOR HIGHS BY MONDAY. METRO AREA TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 DEGREES FROM BERNALILLO TO BELEN. AND NOTICE WE SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES BEGINNING TO COME DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT FROM THE MID 80S TO THE LOW 80S AS WE GO INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. BUT GUSTY WINDS ON SUNDAY, MONDAY AND THEN A PLEASANT REST OF NEXT WEEK. BUT DOUG, HAVING A GOOD TIME OUT THERE LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF FUN. I LOVE ALL THAT INTERACTI
