Precipitation Outlook

Strong west winds, low humidity, above normal temperatures, and an unstable airmass will lead to very high fire danger over eastern NM today.

Temperatures will trend colder today over northern and western NM but several degrees warmer over southern and eastern NM. Strong west winds with very low humidity and warmth over eastern NM will lead to high fire danger. Much colder air will eventually filter into the entire area behind a cold front this evening.

Strong west winds will develop over the northern high terrain and northeast NM today. Wind gusts up to 50 mph are possible along the I- 25 corridor from Raton to Las Vegas with some blowing dust. Very low humidity with these strong winds and warm temperatures will lead to high fire danger today. Outdoor burning is not recommended. Properly discard cigarettes.

Colder overnight central and north as a cold front makes southward progress. Breezy to locally windy conditions will persist into the evening hours.

Daytime highs will be cooler Sunday into Monday, then a warming trend for the middle of next week.

A few inches of snow accumulation possible mainly east central and southeast Sunday afternoon through Monday. Rain and snow Showers will become widespread Wednesday through Thursday with the potential for a few to several inches of snow accumulation in the mountains, and a few inches along adjacent west slopes.
