Albuquerque. Fire danger is up today, and you need to know what that means before you head out the door.
Since our last episode, the picture has actually gotten sharper and not in a reassuring direction. There was some brief moisture movement showing up in the pattern, but Thursday has pushed past that.
There is one wrinkle worth mentioning. A few isolated thunderstorms could develop Thursday afternoon.
For getting dressed this morning, go light on layers. Ninety degrees with wind means it'll feel warm fast.
Tonight brings some relief. Skies will be clear to partly cloudy, winds will ease down, and the overnight low drops to around sixty degrees.
The bigger picture here is that we're in peak dry season for New Mexico. May into June is historically the driest stretch of the year, and the heat pattern that's dominated since early spring hasn't broken.
