NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Temperatures will continue to warm through Saturday across New Mexico before they cool slightly again to finish out the weekend. Winds will also pick up again this weekend.
A ridge of high pressure is beginning to build in across New Mexico today, ushering in a warming trend that will continue through Saturday afternoon. High temperatures will begin to climb above average statewide this afternoon. A scraper system passing to the north will bring in breezy afternoon winds this weekend, along with a weak cold front Saturday night. Temperatures rebound again by Monday.
