NO FLOOD THREAT IS FORECAST.<\/em><\/p>\n

Persistent ridging aloft will continue to define the weather today.  Dry westerly flow will do little to bring moisture into the state as IPW and Relative Humidity values continue to stay at subdued levels (see below).  Autumn will attempt to evade the area as temperatures will remain unseasonably warm with high temperatures approaching the low 90’s in the Eastern Plains, Urban Corridor, and Raton Ridge, or about 10 to 15 degrees above normal for this time of year. Western portions of the Southwest and Northwest Slope regions will also experience highs that are unseasonably warm as these areas will likely make it into the low- to mid-80’s. Flow aloft is expected to be weaker than yesterday, which will cause reduced winds and a lower, albeit still elevated, fire danger risk compared to yesterday. Please visit your local NWS<\/span> office website for more details.<\/p>\n

A changing weather pattern can be expected as the week progresses and as deep moisture from Tropical Storm Paine may begin to enter extreme western portions of the state as soon as Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
