Winds will continue through Monday night as a cold front sweeps across the state. Hot and windy weather will remain throughout the weekend.
It was a very hot start to the week in New Mexico on Monday. Temperatures are hovering around 100° in the southeast part of the state. Roswell tied a record 101st. In western New Mexico, a dry microburst produced a 75 mph wind gust in Farmington as a cold front moved through that part of the state. The cold front also brought windy conditions as it moved east. Including the Albuquerque metro tonight. It is also bringing very light rain to parts of northern New Mexico. The front will continue to move east across the state through the rest of the evening. Strong winds will remain in eastern New Mexico through Tuesday morning.
The cold front will bring temperatures just a few degrees cooler Tuesday afternoon. Winds will also be weaker, but could still gust up to 45 mph in northern New Mexico. A secret cold front will move through eastern New Mexico on Wednesday morning and leave high temperatures a few degrees colder again in the eastern half of the state on Wednesday afternoon. However, a strong westerly wind will wash the front in the evening.
Rinse and repeat the pattern for the rest of the week (no humidity). Temperatures will remain fairly consistent in the afternoon, with strong winds each afternoon throughout the weekend.
