NATIONALITY ACT. WELL, STRONG WIND, DUST AND BLOWING SNOW FOR SOME OF YOU. CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JOE DIAZ SHOWS US WHERE. YEAH, WE ARE DEFINITELY AT THE WINDY SEASON. THAT’S REALLY GOING TO BE IMPACTING US, ESPECIALLY LATE TOMORROW ON THROUGH FRIDAY. WE’RE LOOKING FOR STRONG WINDS AND THIS WILL PRODUCE AREAS OF BLOWING DUST AND BLOWING SNOW HEAVY AT TIMES IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND THEN BLOWING DUST IN THE HIGH FIRE THREAT ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE STATE. SO IT’S GOING TO BE A SLOW MOVING SYSTEM FOR THIS ONE. SO BREEZY AND A LITTLE BIT COOLER. WE HAD THE STRONGER WINDS SOUTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE. HERE’S THE NEXT SYSTEM THAT WILL BE AWAITING US. IT’S JUST A VERY POWERFUL STORM WITH A LOT OF WEATHER ELEMENTS TO TIE IN TOGETHER. FIRST OF ALL, QUIET IN THE MORNING. SO IF YOU WANT TO GET OUTSIDE THAT YOU’D BE ABSOLUTELY FINE. WINDS ARE GOING TO START TO COME UP IN THE AFTERNOON, BUT REALLY START TO GET STRONGER TOMORROW EVENING. AND THEN WE’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME RAIN SHOWERS WITH SOME MOUNTAIN SNOW MIXED IN. AS WE GET DEEPER INTO TOMORROW EVENING. HERE’S A LOOK AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING. YOU SEE IT DRY AND QUIET ACROSS THE AREA AS WE LOOK AT FUTURE TRACK. THERE YOU SEE THE STORM SYSTEM TO THE WEST OF US. 5:00. WE’LL GET THOSE INCREASING WINDS ACROSS THE AREA. NOW AS WE STOP AT AROUND 7:00, THERE’S THIS. THIS IS WHERE I’M CONCERNED ABOUT THE BLOWING SNOW ALONG INTERSTATE 40 BETWEEN GALLUP AND GRANTS. AS THAT FRONT COMES THROUGH, THERE COULD BE SOME WHITEOUTS AT TIMES AND THEN AREAS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN THERE AS WELL. AND THEN WE PUSH IT ON THROUGH. YOU’LL SEE A BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR SHOWERS TO SCATTER INTO THE ALBUQUERQUE AREA WITH SOME RAIN AND BLOWING SNOW SHOWERS UP AROUND SANTA FE, BUT ALL THE BIG ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. AND WHEN THAT FRONT MOVES ON THROUGH, WE’RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE BLOWING DUST THERE AND THE BLOWING SNOW ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AS WELL. NOW CHECK OUT 5:00 IN THE EVENING FOR THE WIND GUSTS. YOU SEE 40 50 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS ACROSS SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE STATE. BUT LOOK HOW WE ADVANCE IT OVERNIGHT. STRONGER WINDS WILL KICK IN FROM THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN ON INTO EASTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO. AND THERE’S GOING TO BE LIKE A 50, 60, 70 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS IN THIS AREA OVER HERE AND THEN BLOWING DUST ACROSS THIS AREA HERE. AS THAT SYSTEM FINALLY STARTS TO EXIT OUR REGION. SO WE DO HAVE THE WIND WARNINGS IN PLAY FROM THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN ON TO EASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE, FROM LAS VEGAS, ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO RUIDOSO. SO AGAIN, THESE COULD BE POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS THE AREA. THEN THE WIND ADVISORIES, THAT’S WHERE THE WINDS WILL BE GUSTING TO AROUND 50, 55 MILES AN HOUR. SO BLOWING DUST CONCERN THERE. HIGH FIRE THREAT WILL BE IN PLAY FOR TOMORROW, ALONG WITH SOUTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE. THE BLOWING DUST THREAT WILL BE IN PLAY AS WELL. AND THERE YOU SEE THOSE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES. 1 TO 3IN OF SNOW AND THEN HEAVIER AMOUNTS IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WHERE THE BLOWING SNOW COULD BE KICKING IN. THERE YOU HAVE IT. THIS IS THE BLOWING SNOW. OPPORTUNITIES FOR TOMORROW. AND THEN AS WE ADVANCE IT ON INTO FRIDAY, STARTING TO LIFT ON OUT OF THE AREA. BUT AS WE LOOK AT THE FOUR CORNERS REGION FORECAST, INCREASING RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS DURING THE EVENING, AND THEN THOSE STRONG WINDS WILL BE TAKING OVER AND ANOTHER WINDY SYSTEM WORKING IN BY TUESDAY SOUTHWEST. YOU’LL SEE TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S FROM SOCORRO DOWN INTO TIER C. NOW THERE’S GOING TO BE WINDY ALONG WITH SOME BLOWING RAIN AND SNOW IN THE SILVER CITY AREA. DRY THROUGHOUT THE LOWER ELEVATIONS AND THEN WINDS START TO KICK UP AGAIN AS WE GET DEEPER INTO NEXT WEEK, SOUTHEAST WILL HAVE THOSE STRONG WINDS KICKING IN, ESPECIALLY TOMORROW NIGHT. RIGHT ON INTO FRIDAY, VERY STRONG WINDS GUSTING UP TO AROUND 6570 MILES AN HOUR. AND ANOTHER BOUT WILL BE WORKING IN FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. NORTHERN NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE WILL HAVE THE WINDS IN PLAY WITH THAT HIGH WIND WARNING. GUSTS TO 70 MILES AN HOUR. DANGEROUS CROSSWINDS. AND THEN WE GO INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY. ANOTHER SYSTEM STARTS TO ROLL INTO OUR DIRECTION. THERE WILL BE SOME LIMITED SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW AND SOME OF THE LOWER ELEVATIONS, BUT THAT’S GOING TO BE PILING UP TOMORROW NIGHT ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. AND THEN WE’LL STILL HAVE THE VERY STRONG WINDS FOR YOUR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. IT DOES START TO TAPER OFF, AND SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE THE BEST WEEKEND. DA AND THE METRO AREA WILL HAVE THAT COLD START WITH WINDY CONDITIONS IN THE AFTERNOON. STRONGER WINDS TOMORROW NIGHT ALONG WITH SOME RAIN AND SNOW MIXES AROUND. WE GET INTO FRIDAY. IT’S GOING TO BE A BLUSTERY DAY. STAY INSIDE BLOWING DUST. STILL MODERATELY WINDY ON SATURDAY BEFORE IT TURNS BRIEFLY MILDER AS WE GET INTO SUNDAY. SO THERE’S A LOOK AT THE FLAVOR
