Our weather pattern is starting to change but you might not know it over the weekend.  It will remain mostly sunny and unseasonably warm through Sunday.  Highs will top out in the low 70’s in most valley sections.  By Monday into Tuesday a cold front will plow through the east.  This will drop temps up to 15 degrees in the east and around 5 degrees in the west.  There is the slight chance of a shower over the northern sections on Sunday.  A better chance of precip returns to the forecast at the end of next week.  Have a good weekend.

High pressure continues to dominate the weather pattern for most of the western US.  The high will hold through Friday before two different weather systems help to break through the high and bring cooler temps and eventually a little rain and snow.  Partly cloudy skies will be the rule through the weekend as one weather system passes to our north while the other passes to our south.  This will allow for cooler temps to slowly work in and the chance of showers will begin to ramp up by the middle of next week.

Still looking at quiet weather for the next few days as high pressure remains overhead.  Look for mostly sunny skies and highs in the high 60’s.  Changes will take shape slowly this weekend as the ridge breaks down.  A series of weak disturbances will work through the state into next week.  None of these looks strong enough to cause major weather concerns into next week.  They will bring spot showers and cooler temps with the possibility of some light mountain snow.

Not much to report over the next few days.  Look for mostly sunny skies and highs in the high 60’s.  As far as storms go, there is nothing on the horizon for the next seven or so days.  In fact, we may well stay dry for at least the next 10 days.  Right now we sit almost two inches below average for the year.  I don’t see us making that up in the next few weeks.

Ridge hangs out for the next several days and will bring a warming trend to the region.  Expect temperatures to climb into the 60s and 70s.  Highs could cool a few degrees in the extreme northeast part of the state towards the middle of the week.  We may not see another storm for several days as the ridge continues to keep storms away.

A rather quiet period of weather lies ahead for the Land of Enchantment.  While the nights will continue to feature rather chilly temperatures, abundant sunshine will provide for a nice warm-up each afternoon.  In general, afternoon temperatures will be near or even a few degrees above normal into the first part of the new work week.

About the only weather features to speak of in the days ahead will be a few back door old fronts that will drop onto the eastern plains during the week ahead.  In general, these fronts will be dry and relatively weak.  Their only impact will be to drop temperatures a few degrees across the eastern parts of New Mexico.

Looking long range, we are still keeping an eye on a potential storm system for late next week.  But at this time the models are rather inconsistent and it is way to early to tell if the region will be hit with another winter type storm.  But you can bet, that we will certainly keep that system in our sights.

After a pretty exciting past couple week’s weather wise it is about to get a whole lot more boring.  High pressure will set up over the west pushing storms way to our north.  Look for mostly sunny skies and temps in the 60’s.  Our next shot at a storm look to be at least 10 days off.  Enjoy a sunny and warmer weekend.
