Strong winds will impact the central highlands & east central plains where gusts of 40 to 50 mph will be possible.
A few light showers will be possible in western NM late this afternoon. #NMwx
Latest forecast offers a little more hope for measurable precipitation across western NM late tomorrow into tomorrow night, for central areas Wednesday, and much of forecast area Friday night into Saturday morning.
Breezy to locally windy conditions are expected in the central highlands eastward into the east central plains this afternoon. Temperatures will be warmer than normal with batches of high cirrus clouds. #NMwx
Warmer temperatures are expected today with much of the eastern plains rising some 10 to 15 degrees above normal for mid January. #NMwx
High clouds will likely keep western NM from getting as cold tonight/Sunday morning compared to last night. Weak storm systems are forecast to move through NM Tuesday & again Wed night & Thurs.
Sat, Jan 15th
Colder temperatures will be observed today with western parts of New Mexico dropping close to average while eastern areas fall below normal. Gusty winds will also continue in the far eastern plains, making it feel very brisk.
#NMwx
Strong winds will persist along the TX border well into tonight. Colder air will bring wind chill values to near or below zero there as well. Warmer and calmer weather returns Sunday. #NMwx

Quiet and warm weather today, then strong winds and cooler temperatures on tap for Friday and Saturday. Perhaps a little snow for the Sangre de Cristo Mountains too. Quieter weather will return for the start of next week.
Pleasant weather tonight and Thursday. A potent cold front arrives late Friday through Friday night, bringing strong winds through eastern NM. Unfortunately, mostly dry weather will also persist with a few light snow showers over the Sangre de Cristo's late Friday. #NMWx

Winds are trending up for Friday and precipitation chances are trending down (except for the Sangre de Cristo Mtns). Seems like we've done this dance before. *sigh* Maybe we'll trend the other direction someday. 🤞

Quiet weather for the next few days with temperatures gradually increasing. Precipitation chances look to be mainly holding off until Friday through the weekend, but confidence remains low.
Cooler today behind a cold front, but the warming trend will begin tomorrow. Will we see precipitation later this week? Well, it's not a sure thing, but we're saying there's a chance!
Tonight will see sporadic light snow along the CO border, with much cooler weather moving into eastern NM by Sunday. Mostly dry weather continues until the middle of next week when a storm system looks to move into the region from the northern Baja coast. #NMwx
A fairly pleasant day is ahead for the area. A passing storm system may result in a few showers across far northern and west central NM, but any activity will be very light. Otherwise, winds pick up across eastern NM. #NMwx

Pleasant weather tonight. Dry, warm, and windy thru east-central NM Sat. Temperatures thru eastern NM drop back to the 40s/50s Sun, staying fairly consistent thru the Rio Grande Valley and westward. The next chances for precip. look to arrive by the middle of next week. #NMwx
A nice and quiet day is ahead for the area with temperatures much warmer than they were yesterday across the east. Dry weather remains in store through the weekend, but the weather pattern looks to become much more active next week with rounds of precipitation. #NMwx
Much warmer across the eastern plains tonight. High temperatures will then be above normal for the next 7 days, except for some below normal readings Sunday and Monday. A system may bring widespread rain and high terrain snow Wed-Thu next week. #NMWx
Highs will tumble across the east today thanks to a strong cold front. Be sure to bundle up and stay warm as some locations across the northeast plains may not reach freezing. Highs quickly rebound Friday, but another storm system cools them down again this weekend. #NMwx
430PM 1/5 | A strong cold front is expected to push through eastern NM tonight and dramatically lower temperatures. Here is an hour by hour loop starting at 6PM today and ending 9AM tomorrow. Wind chills will likely be less than 0°F behind the front. #NMwx
Winds strengthen once again for areas along and near the Sangre de Cristos where gusts exceeding 50 mph will be possible. A strong backdoor cold front invades eastern NM tonight, bringing a blast of very cold air. Wind chills Thursday morning across portions of eastern NM will be below zero. It won't last too long though as temperatures quickly rebound on Friday. #NMwx
Quiet night ahead. Temperatures are still expected to yo-yo across eastern NM later this week thanks to a strong cold front. Wind chills will dip below zero Thursday morning.
Winds pick up again today, especially for areas along and east of the central mountain chain. High fire danger is likely across the east central plains where especially dry conditions prevail. Outdoor burning is highly discouraged. #NMwx #NMFire
Mon Eve, Jan 3
Temperatures won't be quite as frigid tonight as they have been, but they will still be cold and below freezing area wide.
Hold on to your hats for Tuesday, as another round of strong wind will impact portions of central to east central NM! #NMwx
