WE WILL CALL THE SPRINGTIME WEATHER. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES, 73 DEGREES, A LIGHT WIND. VERY GOOD FOR YOUR EVENING, BUT CHECK THIS OUT. TODAY WE’VE BEEN UP TO AROUND 75 DEGREES. 87 WOULD BE A RECORD BREAKING TEMPERATURES, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A WESTERLY BREEZE ON SATURDAY. AS WE GET INTO SANTA FE 72 SO FAR TODAY, THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE A RECORD TYING 79. LAS VEGAS IS GOING TO BE NEAR RECORD TEMPERATURES AND RECORD HEAT IN THE MID 90S FOR ROSWELL ON SATURDAY. SO THAT’S WHEN THIS HEAT IS GOING TO PEAK. WE’RE LOOKING FOR A RAPID WARM UP. REMEMBER WE WERE WE WERE AT 43 FOR A HIGH WITH SNOW AROUND ON SATURDAY. SO THIS IS A BIG WARM UP. WE’RE EXPERIENCING A RECORD CHALLENGING HEAT AHEAD AS YOU NOTICED. AND BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS FOR THE WEEKEND. OKAY SUNNY AND WARMER ACROSS THE AREA. STORM TRACK TO THE NORTH. HEAT IS GOING TO BUILD WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE REGION. SO FOR TOMORROW 45 DEGREES. THAT’S MILDER THAN WE TYPICALLY SEE AND ALL THE WAY UP TO 80 DEGREES WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A WESTERLY BREEZE FROM TIME TO TIME, WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE. SO REALLY GREAT TO GET OUTSIDE. WE’LL HAVE THAT COLD TO CHILLY START ON THE DAY, THEN THAT STEADY WARMING TREND WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ACROSS OUR ENTIRE VIEWING AREA. YOU SEE 70 TO THE NORTH, 80 TO THE SOUTH. LET’S GO AHEAD AND ADVANCE IT RIGHT ON INTO THURSDAY. YOU CAN SEE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO CLIMB. LOOK AT THE 90S KICKING IN FROM ALAMOGORDO ON INTO DEMING AND VERY WARM NORTHERN PARTS OF THE STATE. CONTINUING THERE, A FEW CLOUDS WILL STREAM ACROSS THE AREA FROM TIME TO TIME. AS WE GET ON SATURDAY, BUT THE BREEZES WILL COME UP. TEMPERATURES WILL COME UP AS WELL, SO THERE’S THAT RECORD HEAT THAT WE’RE EXPERIENCING ACROSS THE AREA FROM ALBUQUERQUE, SANTA FE, ON INTO SOUTHERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO AS WELL, AND GOING ON INTO SUNDAY, IT LOOKS LIKE A FEW MORE CLOUDS AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL STREAM ACROSS THE AREA, BUT TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE VERY WARM AND BREEZY TO WINDY. CONDITIONS WILL PICK UP ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE STATE. WE’LL SEE THE STRONGEST WINDS GUSTS OVER 40 MILES AN HOUR AROUND TAOS, RATON INTO DURANGO AND THE AREAS IN THE RED. THOSE ARE GOING TO BE SOME MODERATE WINDS IN THE AFTERNOON. SO THAT’S THE WINDIEST DAY OF THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WARMING INTO THE 70S. CORTEZ, DURANGO ON INTO GALLUP AND GRAZ. THAT WARMTH WILL CONTINUE OVER IN THE FARMINGTON AREA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. A FEW MORE CLOUDS WORKING IN BY SUNDAY, BUT STILL WARM. 81 TO 79 FROM SOCORRO ON INTO DEMING. AND LOOK AT THE 80S STARTING TO KICK IN THROUGHOUT SILVER CITY, AND THEN MODERATE WINDS PICKING UP FOR SATURDAY AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY. SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO AND AREAS FROM RUIDOSO ON INTO ALAMOGORDO, 86 OVER IN HOBBS. SO THE WARMTH WILL BE BUILDING ALL THE WAY INTO THE 90S FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, WITH MODERATE WINDS STARTING TO KICK IN BY MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK AS A SYSTEM STARTS TO DEPART, THE AREA, DAYTIME HIGHS RANGING FROM THE MID 70S TO THE LOW 80S FROM CEDAR CREST ALL THE WAY INTO SANTA ROSA. 74 TOMORROW OVER IN LAS VEGAS, A LITTLE BIT OF A COOL DOWN FOR THURSDAY, AND THEN YOU BOUNCE BACK UP AND PROGRESSIVELY STRONGER WINDS FOR SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS, TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S AND 60S AND RED RIVER ON INTO CHAMA. BUT 78 SO VERY WARM OVER IN ESPANOLA. WE’LL SEE TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. MODERATE WINDS WILL KICK US UP TO 79 DEGREES AND A FEW MORE CLOUDS WORKING IN BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND FOR SANTA FE, THE METRO AREA WILL HAVE THAT CHILLY START GIVING WAY TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN THE AFTERNOON, A HIGH OF 80 DEGREES 83 FOR THURSDAY, NEAR RECORD HEAT FOR FRIDAY. AND THERE’S THAT RECORD BREAKING 87. THAT’S TYPICALLY WHAT WE FEEL IN JUNE. AND THEN A FEW MORE HIGH CLOUDS WORKING ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY.
