BY WILDFIRE INCIDENT MANAGEMENT TEAMS. STRONG CANYON WINDS GETTING READY TO HIT THE REGION HERE IS CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JOE DIAZ. THAT’S EXACTLY RIGHT. IN FACT, IT’S REALLY GOING TO HOWL AFTER MIDNIGHT DOWNWIND FROM THE CANYON. SO IF THAT IMPACTS YOU WHILE YOU’RE SLEEPING AT NIGHT, GET READY FOR IT. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE WINDS GUSTS UP TO AROUND 55 MILES AN HOUR. WE’RE CALLING THIS AN IMPACT PERIOD. THEN WET WEATHER. SOUTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE WILL KICK IN DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. AND THEN WE GET THIS SYSTEM IN AND OUT, AND WARMTH WILL BE BUILDING WITH SOME OF THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES SO FAR THIS YEAR AS WE BUILD TOWARD THE WEEKEND. OKAY, SO THAT WIND ADVISORY AGAIN, THIS WOULD BE STRONGEST FROM TIJERAS CANYON ON THE NOB HILL, THE SUNPORT MESA DEL SOL. SO GUSTS UP TO AROUND 55 MILES AN HOUR. IT GOES IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TO NOON TOMORROW. LOOKS LIKE THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE LIKE FROM 3 TO 9 A.M. NOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SUSTAINED WINDS OVER 30 MILES AN HOUR, IT’S IN THAT 3 TO 9 A.M. PERIOD WHERE THE WINDS ARE THE STRONGEST. AND THAT’S THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO BE GUSTING UP TO AROUND 55 MILES AN HOUR. NOW, LET ME SHOW YOU HOW THE WINDS WILL INCREASE OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE CITY BY THE MIDNIGHT TIME FRAME, YOU SEE WINDS, GUSTS OVER 30 MILES AN HOUR. THEN WE’LL ADVANCE IT ON TO ABOUT 5:00 IN THE MORNING. YOU SEE IT GUSTING OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR LESS IMPACTFUL, CERTAINLY WEST OF THE RIVER. AND THEN GOING ON INTO TUESDAY MORNING, YOU’LL SEE IT COME DOWN AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. OKAY. LET’S GO AHEAD AND SHOW YOU THIS IS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL DRAW IN THE CANYON WINDS, AND IT WILL WRAP SOME SOGGY CONDITIONS OVER SOUTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE. THERE’S A POTENTIAL THAT YOU COULD GET MORE THAN AN INCH OF RAIN FROM ROSWELL ON INTO CLOVIS. JUST EXACTLY HOW THIS TRACKS. AND SOME OF THESE COULD HAVE LARGE HAIL, POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WINDS OVER EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO, ESPECIALLY AROUND HOBBS IN AND AROUND THAT AREA. NOW, TOMORROW MORNING. AND REMEMBER, WE HAVE THOSE STRONG CANYON WINDS TO START THE DAY, AND THEN IT GETS LESS WINDY AS WE GET DEEPER INTO THE AFTERNOON. YOU’LL SEE, HERE’S THAT RAIN AND SNOW DEVELOPING AROUND 7:00 IN THE MORNING. LOOK HOW IT CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY AS WE GO TOWARD THE NOON HOUR AND THEN ADVANCING IT RIGHT ON INTO SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. THAT’S WHERE THE BRUNT OF THE MOISTURE WILL BE. WE’RE DRY, WE’RE QUIET. WE’RE WARM FOR THE WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, AND THEN FRIDAY TIME FRAME. SO WE’LL BE THE 50S AND 60S TOMORROW WITH SOME HIGH CLOUDS ACROSS THE AREA WARMING TO 80 DEGREES. SO THE FIRST 80 DEGREE READING EXPECTED SO FAR THIS SEASON AROUND FRIDAY OF THIS WEEK, 50S AND 60S SOUTHWESTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO WITH SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS AROUND. AND THEN WE GET ON THAT DRY AND WARM TREND WITH THAT TEMPERATURE STILL ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, SOGGY CONDITIONS WITH OCCASIONAL CONSTANT RAIN SHOWERS, OCCASIONAL THUNDERSTORMS. SOME COULD BE STRONG AROUND HOBBS. AND THEN WE GET INTO THAT WARMING TREND RIGHT ON INTO FRIDAY. WINDS WILL COME UP, BUT THEY’LL BE PARTICULARLY STRONG GOING ON INTO MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK. NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WILL SEE A FEW RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF DAY. THEN DRY SKIES WILL PREVAIL FOR A TIME THEREAFTER. NORTHERN NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO. SO OFF AND ON, RAIN SHOWERS AND SOME MOUNTAIN SNOWS AROUND IT WILL BE A MOSTLY CLOUDY DAY. COOLER, 55 DEGREES AND THE SANTA FE AREA. AND THEN YOU GET INTO THE 60S WARM 70. WE WILL HAVE MORE WINDS DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON. THAT WILL BE A WARM WIND FOR US AND THE METRO AREA. STRONG CANYON WINDS FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY. LESS ACTIVE AS WE GET THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SO SEVEN-DAY FORECAST CHECKS OUT LIKE THIS. VERY WINDY FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY. FOR TOMORROW. AND THEN WE’RE IN THE 70S WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY. THOSE BREEZES WILL BE WARM ONES, 15 TO 25 MILE PER HOUR WINDS THAT WILL KICK US TO THE FIRST 80 DEGREE READING SO FAR THIS SEASON, AND STILL WARM GOING INTO YOUR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH STRONGER WINDS DEVELOPING BY MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK. SO AS WE CHECK OUT THE OVERNIGHT, IF YOU’RE IMPACTED BY THOSE CANYON WINDS OVERNIGHT, IT’S GOING TO BE TOUGH SLEEPING UNTIL WE GET THOSE CANYON WINDS SETTLING DOWN. I KNOW, BUT WE HAVE 80 COMING. SO THAT’S THE FOCUS. ISN’T THIS GREAT? OH, THAT LOOKS SO GOOD. THAT’S A WARM ONE.
