What a warm weekend! Highs have continued well above average with some areas coming close to breaking record highs. In Albuquerque, the daytime high on Saturday came within four degrees of tying the record of 70. It's looking like the warm weather will spill over into the first part of the week with highs continuing in the 60's and 70's in the north and central and 80's in the south part of the state. Expect this trend through Tuesday before our next big storm system swings through.

     Wednesday winds will begin to crank up and temperatures will drop out. This storm system could bring snow to the north central and north eastern parts of New Mexico. As for the rest of the state only cold air will be felt. Highs will drop into the 40's with overni ght lows in the teens and 20's. Wind chill factors will be in the single digits and teens overnight Wednesday into Thanksgiving.

     Following the mid-week storm, another one behind it will drop into Baja and pump gulf moisture our way. This could help in producing localized significant snows in the southern mountains of New Mexico with other areas seeing a winter mix. We will keep on top of this and see how it plays out.
