NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Despite some clouds with light showers around the Reserve, most are starting off with mostly clear skies and dry air, but it's a bit gustier from the East Plains to the Metro through Pecos River Valley, as well as near Las Cruces with east-northeasterly winds moving on through. The mixing of the air is allowing for temperatures to struggle to drop in metros areas like Albuquerque, but where conditions are less windy, temperatures are lower. Temperatures are ranging from the low 20s to the low 60s across New Mexico, varying more than yesterday morning.
