Heat Advisory Sunday

Record Heat Monday

Look Before You Lock!

Scattered storms are likely around central and eastern New Mexico today.

A Heat Advisory is in effect for far western NM, including Gallup and Farmington Sunday afternoon.

Monday will be very hot with high temperatures up to 14 degrees above average. Record highs will likely be broken throughout much of western and northern New Mexico.

Never, never, never leave children, disabled or elderly adults, or pets in parked, unattended vehicles! Studies have shown that the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rapidly rise to dangerous levels for people and pets. Leaving the windows slightly open does not significantly decrease the heating rate. The effects can be more severe on children because their bodies have not developed the ability to efficiently regulate internal temperature.
