Near-record highs and fire danger hit New Mexico amid strong winds
Strong high pressure off the Baja California coast is keeping brisk northwest winds across New Mexico through at least Thursday.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Strong high pressure off the Baja California coast is keeping brisk northwest winds across New Mexico through at least Thursday.
Expect gusty winds each afternoon, with critical fire weather returning to the Roswell area on Wednesday afternoon. Warm, dry conditions will elevate fire danger.
On Wednesday, the northeast and east central plains may see slightly lighter winds due to a weak surface low. However, gusts could reach 50 mph from Clines Corners to Vaughn and possibly as far east as Fort Sumner.
Temperatures will soar well above normal, with highs running 9 to 23 degrees above average. Near-record highs are possible in central New Mexico, and multiple record highs are likely across eastern New Mexico.
Thursday brings a backdoor cold front to northern and eastern New Mexico, dropping temperatures by 5 to 12 degrees compared to Wednesday. Winds will remain breezy.
