Its important to note that the model forecast tracks above

I am keeping a close watch on a potential tropical storm

that is developing near Cuba. This system will move into

the Gulf of Mexico over the next couple of days and has

the potential to become a tropical storm. If this happens

this storm will be named Don.

It is way too early to know for sure where this storm will

track. There is the possibility that it could move northwest

and approaoch the Texas Coastal Bend by Saturday.

Computer model forecasts indicate that it may move into

W TX or SE NM by the end of the weekend.

Unrelenting Heat - When Will It End?

Not anytime soon. Today will mark the 47th day

that the Carlsbad Airport has reached, or exceeded the

century mark. Our high temperatures across the Pecos

Valley and the rest of SE NM will range from 100 - 104

today into the weekend, and more than likely into the

first part of next week.
