ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Most of New Mexico will stay quiet with light winds, clear skies and dry weather, while patchy fog could develop near Roswell and Farmington.
The main weather system sat well south of New Mexico Sunday night and will keep moving northeast toward the southern Plains through Monday.
Weak high pressure will build over New Mexico behind it, bringing light winds, mainly clear skies and dry weather for most of the state.
The main concern late Sunday into Monday morning is low clouds or fog in a couple of spots.
The better chance for fog is in and around the Pecos River Valley, including Roswell and parts of Chaves County. 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.
The Four Corners remains very wet from recent storms, so some localized fog is still possible around Farmington.
Any patchy fog near Roswell or Farmington should gradually burn off Monday morning. The rest of the state will start the week with quiet weather, light winds and mostly sunny skies.
Monday looks like a warm early November day as high pressure builds over the state. Temperatures will climb a few more degrees.
North-central and northeastern New Mexico could run around 10 degrees above normal, especially in 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. No significant weather impacts are expected.
Quiet weather will continue Monday night with mainly clear skies and light winds.
