FOR THOSE IN A HURRY. WELL, WIND, COOLER TEMPS AND SOME SHOWERS. HERE’S CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JOE DIAZ. YEAH, WE HAVE THE STRONG WINDS WITH US RIGHT NOW. THAT’S GOING TO BE COMING IN DOWN AND DOWN, AT LEAST AS WE GET ON INTO THE 8:00 HOUR, THE WINDS WILL START TO COME DOWN AS THE SUN STARTS TO SET. BREEZY AND COOLER TOMORROW. THERE’S A FRONT THAT’S ROLLING ON THROUGH, SO LESS WIND AND SLIGHTLY COOLER DAYTIME HIGHS. STRONG CANYON WINDS WILL BE DEVELOPING THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING, GUSTING TO 50 MILES AN HOUR OR SO DOWNWIND FROM THE HEAD OF CANYON AND SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE INCREASING BECAUSE THOSE CANYON WINDS WILL PUSH IN SOME MORE HUMID AIR. IT WAS WINDY AND WARMER ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. A FRONT WILL WORK THROUGH THE REGION TOMORROW, SO A LITTLE BIT ON THE COOL SIDE. WE’LL STILL HAVE STRONGER WINDS. SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE FOR THAT HIGHER FIRE DANGER AND THEN ANOTHER PUSH OF COOL AIR. AND BY THURSDAY NIGHT WE’LL GET THOSE STRONGER CANYON WINDS KICKING INTO OUR AREA AS I WAS DESCRIBING. SO 45 CHILLY START TO THE DAY. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE TOMORROW AS WE LOOK TOWARD THE AFTERNOON, WE’LL SEE THOSE 15 TO 20 MILE PER HOUR WINDS WITH SOME HIGHER GUSTS. SO NOT AS WARM AS WHAT WE HAD TODAY. WE’VE BEEN NEAR 80 DEGREES. TODAY WE’RE LOOKING FOR 73 TOMORROW, BUT WITH WINDS A BIT LOWER, I THINK IT WILL BE A BIT MORE COMFORTABLE NOW. THERE YOU SEE THE MORNING TEMPERATURES ON THE CHILLY SIDE. NORTHERN WESTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO AND WE’LL GET INTO COOLER CONDITIONS NORTH AND WEST. AND WINDS WILL STILL BE IN THE INCREASE OF ABOUT 20 TO 30 MILE PER HOUR WINDS THROUGHOUT MANY AREAS HERE. SO THAT HIGH FIRE DANGER CONTINUES. SO MAKE SURE YOU DON’T DO ANY OUTDOOR BURNING. WE GET INTO THURSDAY, AND BY THURSDAY NIGHT THOSE STRONGER CANYON WINDS WILL START TO KICK INTO THE AREA. AND THAT WILL BE WITH US THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY ON FRIDAY. AND THEN NOTICEABLY COOLER CONDITIONS WITH SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS TO THE NORTH AS WE WORK TOWARDS SATURDAY. NOTICE HOW THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AND SOME HIGH MOUNTAIN SNOWS WORK IN FROM THE NORTHERN NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE AND PRETTY MUCH SCATTERED FROM THE CENTRAL AND NORTHWESTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO. SO YOUR FOUR CORNERS REGION FORECAST WILL SOME COOLER AIR WORKING AND HIGHS ONLY IN THE 50S AND 60S. 55 IN DURANGO AND WE’LL SEE A TEMPERATURE OF 30 DEGREES IN FARMINGTON. THAT’S PAST THEIR AVERAGE FREEZE. SO MAKE SURE YOU BRING IN THE TENDER VEGETATION AND PROTECT THE PETS. AS WE GET INTO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, THERE WILL BE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO WORK AROUND. LOOK AT THE WARM 80S THROUGHOUT LORDSBURG. DEMING ON INTO LAS CRUCES 20 30 MILE PER HOUR WINDS WITH THAT HIGH FIRE THREAT, AND THEN WILL BE IN THE 70S FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. OVER IN SILVER CITY, SOUTHEAST 71, IN RUIDOSO, 91 IN CARLSBAD. WE’LL SEE TEMPERATURES LOWERING IN ROSWELL RIGHT ON INTO FRIDAY. AND THEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON AN UPSWEEP ON A SCATTERED BASIS AS WE GET INTO SATURDAY. NORTHERN, NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO GUSTS TO 45 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR FROM CEDAR CREST ON INTO LAS VEGAS. AND THEN LOOK AT THE CHILL IN THE AIR FOR LAS VEGAS, A HIGH OF ONLY 58 DEGREES. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LOOK A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKELY FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND THERE, THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS ANYWHERE FROM 60 OVER IN LOS ALAMOS TO 64 IN SANTA FE. SO COOL FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN BREEZY 62 DEGREES. SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS FROM FRIDAY ON INTO SATURDAY, AND THE METRO AREA WE’LL HAVE THAT CHILLY START GIVING WAY TO BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW. THE AVERAGE HIGH FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR 77 DEGREES. SO WE’RE GOING TO BE LOW THAT FOR FRIDAY ON INTO SATURDAY. NOW SATURDAY MORNING SOME CANYON WINDS AND IT WILL GET TO BREEZY CONDITIONS. AND THEN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING THOSE CANYON WINDS WILL EVENTUALLY PICK UP BY FRIDAY MORNING GUSTING TO AROUND 50 MILES AN HOUR DOWNWIND FROM DEJARAS CANYON. SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND FRIDAY ON INTO SATURDAY AND TAPERING OFF SUNDAY ON INTO MONDAY, SO NOT AS WARM TOMORROW BUT ON THE PLUS SIDE, NOT AS WIN
