High temperatures will reach the 90's and low 100's in many locations across northern and central New Mexico on Friday and each day through the weekend. This will lead to heat impacts, so be sure to check up on neighbors and loved ones. Ensure they have adequate cooling and are drinking plenty of water.

Heat can escalate quickly. Warm temperatures can quickly become dangerous. Heat is one of the most deadly weather hazards - don't underestimate it. Never leave people or pets alone in a car.
