A backdoor front spilled into the Rio Grande Valley overnight, bringing a gusty east winds through the metro this morning.
Despite the backdoor front today, it will only leave temperatures a couple degrees cooler today and Sunday afternoon, with high temperatures still well above normal for the end of September. A couple spotty showers and storms will again be possible in northern New Mexico this afternoon, but Sunday will be drier.
Another round of record heat is expected Monday afternoon, central and western parts of New Mexico are especially going to feel it. Highs will climb back into the 90s Monday afternoon in the Metro. Another cold front moves in by early Tuesday morning, which will cool off highs just slightly again Tuesday. However, this is short lived with another warmup starting Wednesday, that will keep near-record heat around into the end of next week.
Looking toward Balloon Fiesta, unfortunately it is going to stay very warm for the first weekend, with low temperatures in the low 50s and highs in the mid 80s.
