Still a bit windy for the south and east with spots of red flag warnings for continued fire danger (2025)

COLD FRONT COME THROUGH YESTERDAY. IT’S JUST LITERALLY CLEARING EASTERN NEW MEXICO AS I’M TALKING TO YOU RIGHT NOW. SO WE STILL HAVE PLACES LIKE CARLSBAD AND HOBBS ABOVE 60 DEGREES, BUT THIS COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH TODAY IS GOING TO RESULT IN NOT ONLY COOLER TEMPERATURES, BUT A LOT LESS IN THE WIND DEPARTMENT. SOME OF THIS MOISTURE, IT’S GOING TO SWIRL INTO NORTHERN NEW MEXICO TOMORROW. BUT I THINK TODAY WE DO STAY DRY. HERE’S A LOOK AT FUTURE TRACK FOR THIS MONDAY. AND YOU CAN SEE IT’S 60 AND 70 DEGREE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO NUMBERS A LITTLE BELOW AVERAGE IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE STATE. STILL SOME WELL UPPER 70S IN THIS FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE STATE DOES LOOK PRETTY TOASTY. WARM UP NEAR 90 AROUND ROSWELL, CARLSBAD AND HOBBS. NO POCKETS OF SOUTHERN AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO STILL SET TO GUST TO AROUND 30, OR MAYBE EVEN ABOVE THIS AFTERNOON. SO WE DO HAVE RED FLAG WARNINGS FOR DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS UP THERE. THE RATON, LAS VEGAS, I-25 CORRIDOR AND ALSO RUIDOSO AND IN THE VICINITY OF THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. THOSE ARE SPOTS WHERE WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO NEW WILDFIRES STARTS. LOOK AT ALL THE SPOTS IN WESTERN AND NORTHERN NEW MEXICO DROPPING TO AROUND FREEZING TONIGHT. UPPER 30S FOR SANTA FE, MID 40S FOR ALBUQUERQUE. SO IT WILL BE KIND OF A CHILLY NIGHT FOR OUR TUESDAY AFTERNOON. REMEMBER WE’VE GOT THAT MOISTURE SET TO SWIRL INTO THE STATE. I THINK MAINLY AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF I-40 FAVORED FOR THE CHANCE AT SCATTERED TO ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS. A BETTER RAIN CHANCE AROUND SANTA FE THAN WHAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE HERE IN THE IMMEDIATE ALBUQUERQUE METRO. BUT SKIES A LITTLE BIT ACTIVE TOMORROW. THOSE RAIN CHANCES DO NOT COME WITH A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IN SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO. WE STILL HAVE SOME SPOTS THAT ARE PROBABLY SET TO GUST TO AROUND 30 DURING THE AFTERNOON. LOOKING AHEAD TOWARDS WEDNESDAY. LESS ACTIVE THAN TUESDAY, MAYBE A COUPLE DEGREES WARMER. NORTH CENTRAL NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO STILL WITH PROBABLY A SLIGHT CHANCE AT AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR STORM. WHEREAS THE REST OF US, THOSE RAIN CHANCES WILL TAKE THE DAY OFF AGAIN. MORE RAIN CHANCES THOUGH, COMING LATER IN THE WEEK. HERE’S YOUR FORECAST. NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO. YEAH, THESE ARE LOW AND MID 60 DEGREE HIGH TEMPERATURES. TODAY WE ARE UP A COUPLE TOMORROW. THAT RAIN CHANCE IS PRIMARILY OFF TO OUR EAST AND FARMINGTON AND WEDNESDAY WILL BE ANOTHER DAY WHERE WE’RE WATCHING FOR A RAIN CHANCE. BUT STARTING THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WE’VE GOT BETTER CHANCES AT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS. THE NEXT POTENTIAL STRONG WIND ROYALE DA TO IMPACT NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE ON SUNDAY. HERE’S SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO 68, SILVER CITY 70 TO AROUND 80 OFF THE MOUNTAINS. SIMILAR TEMPERATURES AGAIN TOMORROW. THE RAIN CHANCES STAY NORTH. WE UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT GET IN ON THE ACTIVE WEATHER LATER ON THIS WEEK. WE COULD HAVE ANOTHER REAL SIGNIFICANT BLAST OF WIND THOUGH, COMING ON SUNDAY. HERE’S SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S TO STILL NEAR 90 DEGREES COOLER, THOUGH AROUND RUIDOSO AT 67. REMEMBER, YOU’VE GOT THAT RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER. DROP IN THE NUMBERS A LITTLE BIT TO 82 FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THE RAIN CHANCES STAY NORTH UNTIL THE END OF THE WEEK. FRIDAY. SATURDAY WE DO GET IN ON CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND STORMS AND TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE 70S FOR THAT STRETCH. NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO IN THE 60S TODAY, GOOD FOR A 77 THOUGH IN SANTA ROSA TOMORROW IS ACTUALLY COOLER WITH A CHANCE AT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS. AND NOTE HERE IN THE NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO, WE’VE GOT DAILY RAIN CHANCES. THAT’S SOME GOOD NEWS, RIGHT? AND MAYBE WE CAP IT ALL OFF WITH SOME STRONG WINDS. UNFORTUNATELY, ON SUNDAY, NORTH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO ALSO AFTER A DRY ONE TODAY AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S. IT’S THESE DAILY CHANCES AT SCATTERED TO ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY BEFORE THE NEXT POTENTIAL STRONG WIND HITS ON SUNDAY FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO. WE’RE TURNING THE TEMPERATURES DOWN. WE’VE BEEN WELL INTO THE 80S FOR THE PAST SEVERAL AFTERNOONS. TODAY IT’S LOWER 70S. THAT’S ACTUALLY TWO BELOW AVERAGE. 73 TOMORROW, WITH THAT 10% CHANCE AT A STORM. NOW HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE, WE’RE DRY. WEDNESDAY THURSDAY. BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE BY FRIDAY, NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE EAST WINDS OF WHAT LOOK TO BE MODERATE STRENGTH RIGHT NOW. WE’LL WATCH AND SEE IF THEY TREND STRONGER. BUT THAT WILL LEAD TO A MOISTURE RECHARGE AND A 30% CHANCE OF SCATTERED STORMS. LEFTOVER MOISTURE AROUND ANOTHER RAIN CHANCE SATURDAY. WE DO EXPECT SUNDAY TO BE DRY, AND THAT COULD BE ANOTHER ONE OF THOS
