Fire danger will continue to be a major concern across the state.  Humidity levels will be in the single digits by midweek and temperatures will continue to rise well into the 90s. Winds will also be gusty throughout the midweek leading to big fire concerns statewide.

The chance of showers will jump back up again by late in the work week as more moisture creeps into the state. The chance for showers once again favors eastern New Mexico.  In the metro temperatures remain in the low 90s throughout the week with a chance of showers finally reemerging in the forecast by Friday.

Levi Chavez is accused of shooting and killing 26-year-old Tera Chavez with his department-issued handgun in their Los Lunas home, and of trying to make her death look like a suicide because prosecutors say she was about to report him for insurance fraud. He is charged with first-degree murder and evidence tampering.

The city of Albuquerque wants to remind pet owners, who are out and about Sunday with their dogs, not to leave them in a parked car.

On an 85 degree day, the temperature inside the car can reach 120 minutes with the widows open slightly.

The upcoming workweek will feature quieter weather, with fewer and fewer storms through Monday and Tuesday. As the moisture starts to dwindle, the heat will crank back up. By midweek, the metro will reach the mid to upper 90s while the southeast will again reach the low 100s. Unfortunately, the news doesn’t get much better for the efforts against the wildfires across the state as winds pick up toward the end of the workweek.

As an area of high pressure moves over the state by the middle of the workweek, things will continue to dry out as temps warm back up. By Wednesday the metro will be near the 100° mark, while much of the east will reach the low 100s.

The free event opens with live music at 5 p.m. on Wyoming Boulevard just north of Paseo del Norte.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy headlines the show wrapping up the entertainment through 10:30 p.m.

In addition to music and kids’ activities there will be an art market, food, a microbrew garden featuring local brewers and shopping.

Park is available at the North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center at Wyoming and Carmel.  Most stores at the venue will remain open with access from side streets.

Three more Summerfest events are scheduled on Route 66, downtown and on the West Side.

Monday changes roll in once again. A cold front pushes into northeastern New Mexico recharging the area with moisture. That additional moisture Will touch off thunderstorms on Monday and Tuesday across east and central sections of the state.

The ceremony will begin with patriotic music from the Albuquerque Concert Band, an all-volunteer ensemble that has been performing band music in the area for over forty years.  The Kirtland Air Force Base Honor Guard will present the colors, as vocalist Kim Kent sings the National Anthem.  The City of Albuquerque’s Veterans Affairs Office will then present special, commemorative coins to ABQ RIDE employees who served in the military.  The Albuquerque Concert Band will then play more music until 1:30 p.m.
