Seasons First Triple Digit Temps Saturday.

May 4, 2022.
Hondo, New Mexico.

Blast Furnace Weather Returns.






Saturday will be a blast furnace type of weather day for the local area as forecast high temps across the Southeastern Plains and nearby West Texas are expected to range from 100º to 103º. Southwesterly winds will gust up into the 25-35 mph range along with single-digit afternoon relative humidity values.

Southwesterly winds will gust up to around 30-45 mph in the mountains. 

Needless to say that the fire danger will continue to be in the Critically Dangerous to Extreme range off and on into the next week. Summer comes early this year as the drought continues to worsen.

The mountains will be somewhat cooler with highs on Saturday ranging from the low-mid 80's in the Ruidoso area to near 70º in Cloudcroft. Naturally the higher in elevation you go up the cooler the temps.

Yet another widespread dangerous high wind/blowing dust/Critically Dangerous Fire Weather event is shaping up for next Monday statewide. The dryline looks to become active again across parts of the Eastern and Southeastern Plains eastward into West Texas next week. 

There Are None So Blind As Those Who "Will - Not" To See.
