A high wind watch is in effect for Tuesday in the east slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where winds are expected to gust up to 65 mph.
The weather will stay very quiet all week, with no precipitation until potentially Sunday and Monday. Two dry cold fronts will move into eastern New Mexico on Wednesday and Thursday, bringing brief but big cool down. However, temperatures will warm back up big time on Friday and Saturday.
