New Mexico
Hot, dry and windy week lies ahead for New Mexico
After a windy Sunday, gusts will calm down for a couple days before ramping up again as above-average temperatures continue.
Expect another somewhat windy day in some areas Sunday. Warm and dry conditions will help to create red flag warnings in the afternoon and evening until 8 p.m. Sunday. Gusts of 40 to 45 mph may occur.
Very warm, dry, and windy conditions will persist through Sunday with high fire danger over much of the region.
A backdoor cold front will enter eastern New Mexico Monday with cooler temperatures and higher humidity. A few gusty showers are possible Monday and Tuesday around the higher terrain of northern and western New Mexico with little to no rainfall expected.
Winds will strengthen Wednesday through Friday with potential for more blowing dust and high fire danger.
A storm system might move into New Mexico with chances for rain showers, but more wind may continue.

The governor sets the agenda for the session, including for the budget, so here is what they are looking at so far.
SANTA FE, N.M. — As the regular session of the New Mexico Legislature is set to begin Jan. 20, lawmakers have already filed dozens of bills.
Bills include prohibiting book bans at public libraries and protections against AI, specifically the distribution of sensitive and “Deepfake” images
Juvenile justice reform is, again, a hot topic. House Bill 25 would allow access to someone’s juvenile records during a background check if they’re trying to buy a gun.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham sets the agenda and puts forth the proposed budget lawmakers will address during the session. The governor is calling for lawmakers to take up an $11.3 billion budget for the 2027 fiscal year, which is up 4.6% from current spending levels.
Where would that money go? More than $600 million would go to universal free child care. Meanwhile, more than $200 million would go to health care and to protect against federal funding cuts.
There is also $65 million for statewide affordable housing initiatives and $19 million for public safety.
