A rare “Extreme Fire Weather” risk has been issued for much of eastern and southeastern New Mexico for Monday.
The type of weather conditions we will have in place Monday is very conducive for explosive fire development if one does ignite.
Please take the next few days seriously!

Snow is possible next week! As for who... we are still waiting on the models to work out the details.
What you do need to know is it will get COLD next week. Next Tuesday, some places may not get above freezing for the daytime highs!

If you are tired of the short days already… like me, we are less than 3 weeks away from the Winter Solstice. That means after December 21st, we begin the slow process of gaining sunlight. 🙌🏼

The bomb cyclone in the Pacific Northwest caused hundreds of thousands of power outages - and major damage to peoples property. Here's what is left of my friend's gazebo in Washington State! Fortunately, all those impacts will stay far away from NM as the storm pushes farther inland. #nmwx
