Near record heat will continue today and Labor Day, while afternoon and evening showers and storms develop over and near the mountains. Tuesday through Wednesday will feel like the calendar has abruptly changed from June to January. A upper storm system and powerful cold front, rivaling those of deep winter, will cross the region. Potentially damaging northerly winds will develop across parts of eastern New Mexico on Tuesday while locally strong east canyon winds impact parts of the Rio Grande Valley late Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning. Accumulating snow will be possible for parts of north central and northeast New Mexico Tuesday night into Wednesday although amounts will be variable due to snowfall rates and the very warm ground temperatures. An early season freeze also appears likely for much of northeast New Mexico, the Santa Fe metro, Central Highlands, Estancia Valley and the Upper Rio Grande Valley Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Lows west of the Rio Grande Valley will also be mostly in the 30s, except for the San Francisco River Valley where temperatures cool into the 40s Thursday morning. Anyone with travel plans for Monday night through Wednesday should keep abreast of the latest forecast. Take action to protect tender vegetation and exposed pipes from freezing. Secure any lightweight outdoor items such as patio furniture. There remains some uncertainty on the exact track and speed of this storm system across New Mexico. Monitor NOAA weather radio, weather.gov/abq or your local media for the latest updates on this situation.
