WEATHER SUMMARY FOR NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
533 PM MDT TUE MAR 26 2013

MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES DEVELOPED ACROSS NEW MEXICO TODAY DESPITE
PERIODS OF MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. LATE AFTERNOON READINGS RANGED FROM
72 DEGREES AT LORDSBURG TO 61 AT FARMINGTON...59 AT CLAYTON...63 AT
HOBBS...AND 65 AT ALBUQUERQUE. BREEZY CONDITIONS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE STATE HELPED USHER IN WARMER AIR FROM THE SOUTH. WHILE THE WINDS
WERE NO WHERE NEAR THE STRENGTH OF LAST SATURDAY...A FEW NOTABLE
GUSTS INCLUDED 40 MPH AT LAS VEGAS...AND 36 MPH AT CLAYTON AND ANGEL
FIRE.

CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE STREAMING OVER THE AREA TONIGHT...ALLOWING FOR
A MUCH WARMER NIGHT THAN THE PAST SEVERAL. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL
WARM EVEN MORE WEDNESDAY UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND A FEW LIGHT
BREEZES. A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL FORCE SOME SHALLOW MID
LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE STATE THURSDAY...INCREASING THE CHANCE FOR
SOME MOUNTAIN RAIN SHOWERS AND PERHAPS SOME SPRINKLES OVER THE RIO
GRANDE VALLEY AND THE NORTHEAST PLAINS. ANOTHER WEAK WAVE WILL SLIDE
OVER NEW MEXICO FRIDAY WITH A COUPLE MORE SPRINKLES POSSIBLE. THERE
MAY BE JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE ALONG THE TEXAS STATE LINE TO PRODUCE A
COUPLE THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

THE WEATHER WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY QUIET OVER THE WEEKEND WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES.
EXTENDED COMPUTER MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE THE POTENTIAL
FOR A STORM SYSTEM EARLY NEXT WEEK.
