Warmer weather continues into Friday ahead of our next storm system. Rain and and mountain snow will return across parts of the state Sunday and Monday. A warming trend is starting Thursday with high temperatures anywhere from a couple degrees to 15° warmer than Wednesday. Temperatures in the 60s are as far north as Durango and Clayton today, with 70s in southern New Mexico. On Friday, windier weather will return to western New Mexico where gusts up to 45 mph will be possible. This will bring an elevated fire danger west of I-25. Friday will also be our warmest day this week, with highs 5° to 10° warmer than today.
