Temperatures will rise well above average most areas from mid-week into the weekend, with a few daily record highs being challenged by Friday or Saturday. A strong backdoor cold front will cool-down eastern NM from Sunday into Monday, but temperatures will surge even higher next week.

West wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph will create difficult crosswinds on north-to-south oriented roads this afternoon in eastern New Mexico. There will be an increased risk of rapid fire spread in eastern New Mexico as well due to strong winds and low humidity.
