CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS PREVAILING IN THE EASTERN PLAINS.
ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK...THE FAR NORTHWEST ALONG WITH THE FAR

WEATHER SUMMARY FOR NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
530 AM MDT THU MAY 23 2013
...HIGH FIRE DANGER OVER THE NORTHWEST HIGHLANDS THROUGH THIS
EVENING...
...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER THE
EASTERN PLAINS...
GUSTY WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES OVER THE NORTHWEST HIGHLANDS...AND
THUNDERSTORMS FIRING ALONG A DRY LINE IN THE EAST WILL SET THE STAGE
FOR AN ACTIVE WEATHER DAY TODAY. THE EARLY WEEK WARMING TREND WILL
LEVEL OFF TODAY...WITH TEMPERATURES MOSTLY ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS THE
STATE. A COOL FRONT ENTERING NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO WILL HOLD DAYTIME
HIGH TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES SHORT OF NORMAL.
THURSDAY SUNRISE TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 40S AND 50S ACROSS THE
NORTH...AND IN THE 50S AND 60S ACROSS THE SOUTH. THESE SEASONABLY
MILD TEMPERATURES FOLLOWED WEDNESDAY DAYTIME HIGHS RANGING FROM 72
AT CHAMA AND 73 AT CLOUDCROFT...TO 96 AT CARLSBAD AND 99 AT ROSWELL.
ALTHOUGH WARM FOR LATE MAY...THE ROSWELL HIGH TEMPERATURE FELL A FEW
DEGREES SHORT OF THE 102 DEGREE RECORD SET IN 1953.
AS A LARGE...SPRAWLING WEATHER SYSTEM CHURNS AWAY OVER THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST...SOUTHWEST WINDS OVER NEW MEXICO WILL SET UP A GUSTY
AFTERNOON OVER THE NORTHWEST HIGHLANDS...AND A RED FLAG WARNING FOR
HIGH FIRE DANGER REMAINS IN PLACE THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR WESTERN
AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40 ACROSS CIBOLA AND MCKINLEY
COUNTIES. BACK EAST...A DRY LINE SEPARATING MOIST AIR OVER THE TEXAS
PANHANDLE FROM DRY AIR OVER THE HEART OF NEW MEXICO WILL FIRE UP
WITH THUNDERSTORMS HEADING INTO THE AFTERNOON. SOME OF THESE MAY
CONTAIN HAIL AND STRONG WINDS...AND EASTERN PLAINS RESIDENTS SHOULD
KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY AS STORMS DEVELOP TODAY WITH STORMS
CONTINUING INTO THE EVENING.
A VERY SIMILAR DAY IS ON TAP FOR FRIDAY TO WIND UP THE WORK
WEEK...WITH WESTERN FIRE WEATHER DANGERS AND EASTERN THUNDERSTORMS
COVERING THE STATE AT EACH END...LEAVING THE REMAINDER SUNNY AND DRY.
STEADY TEMPERATURE TRENDS THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND WILL KEEP DAYS
SEASONABLY WARM AND RUNNING A LITTLE WARMER THAN NORMAL FOR LATE
MAY. EASTERN PLAINS THUNDERSTORMS WILL REDEVELOP SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY...BUT INCREASING SOUTHWEST WIND SPEEDS ACROSS NEW MEXICO WILL
HELP NUDGE THE DRY LINE OUT OF THE EASTERN PLAINS AND INTO THE TEXAS
PANHANDLE BY MEMORIAL DAY TO SET UP A MOSTLY SUNNY DAY ACROSS NEW
MEXICO FOR THE HOLIDAY.
AFTER THE HOLIDAY...SOME UNSETTLED WEATHER ARRIVING OUT OF THE
PACIFIC BY MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK WILL MAKE A QUICK TRIP ACROSS NORTHERN
NEW MEXICO THROUGH THE LAST HALF OF THE WORK WEEK. THIS WILL BRING
INCREASED CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE STATE HEADING TOWARD THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND.
