DISCUSSION
BREEZY NORTH/NORTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP TODAY IN THE WAKE OF THE
DEPARTING STORM SYSTEM FROM FRIDAY. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL
CREST OVER NM SUNDAY WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES, INCREASING CLOUDS, AND
RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS. STRONGER SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP MONDAY
AHEAD OF A SERIES OF PACIFIC STORM SYSTEMS. LOCALIZED CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY IMPACT PARTS OF EASTERN NM WITH WELL ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES. STRONG WESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED OVER EASTERN
