New Mexico Expects Sunny Skies and Warm Temperatures Monday

Most of New Mexico will stay quiet with light winds, clear skies, and dry weather on Monday, while patchy fog could develop near Roswell and Farmington, kob.com reported.

The main weather system sat well south of the state on Sunday night and will keep moving northeast toward the southern Plains through Monday. A trailing weak high pressure system will settle across New Mexico, providing most inhabitants with calm breezes, mostly clear skies, and dry conditions.

The primary issue heading from late Sunday into Monday morning involves potential low clouds or isolated fog. Based on reports from kob.com, the highest probability for fog exists in and near the Pecos River Valley, encompassing Roswell along with portions of Chaves County.

Sunday night forecast: Patchy fog possible in some areas Monday morning

Light winds and lingering ground moisture could help fog form there. Farmington also has a small chance for patchy fog, although confidence is lower there, kob.com noted.

Because recent storms have left the Four Corners area thoroughly saturated, localized fog may still develop close to Farmington. Any patchy fog near Roswell or Farmington should gradually burn off Monday morning.

Calm conditions, gentle breezes, and predominantly sunny skies will mark the start of the week across the remainder of New Mexico. Monday looks like a warm early November day as high pressure builds over the state, and temperatures will climb a few more degrees.

Temperatures across north-central and northeastern New Mexico may exceed standard seasonal averages by roughly 10 degrees, particularly affecting locations such as Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Taos, Las Vegas, Raton, and Clayton. Most of the state will have sunshine, light winds, dry weather, and mild temperatures Monday afternoon, with no weather impacts expected.

Quiet weather will continue Monday night with mainly clear skies and light winds.
