NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Calmer winds for most and slightly lower temperatures are starting off across the majority of the region, except for parts of the Rio Grande Valley to southern areas, which are starting off slightly milder than yesterday morning because of slightly stronger northerly winds which are mixing the air around along the valley floors a little bit more. Record to near-record warmth will develop with the ridge of high pressure to the south allowing for dry air in place while steering in some afternoon clouds region-wide, signaling in the next pattern change.
To start across the region from northwest to southeast, temperatures are in the upper single digits, teens, 20s, 30s, and lower 40s with noticeably colder air in the Northeast Highlands, but slightly milder air in Southeast New Mexico.
