Record breaking heat moved into the state this afternoon, with several places in southern and eastern New Mexico climbing into the 90s this afternoon.
Slightly cooler air will start moving into western New Mexico Sunday, but eastern New Mexico will likely break more record highs. Winds will again pick up Sunday afternoon, bringing a very high fire danger across southern and eastern New Mexico.
A stronger cold front will move in from the northeast Sunday night, cooling temperatures off all across New Mexico early next week. Parts of eastern New Mexico could see highs as much as 20° cooler on Monday. A few spotty afternoon showers may develop Monday and Tuesday afternoon, but any accumulations would be light. Most of the rain would evaporate before reaching the ground.
Warmer weather starts moving in again next Wednesday as winds start picking up again. Widespread windy weather is likely next Thursday afternoon. This will bring back a very high fire danger across the state.
