Hot, quiet day before wind storm arrives
Wednesday morning is off to a mild start. Low clouds are sitting over the northeast highlands and east plains, and they will clear by around 11 a.m. High clouds are moving into southwest New Mexico, and they will spread northeast across the state throughout the day, leading to cloudier conditions than the rest of the week, so far. Temperatures will be warmer than normal again, staying the 70s, 80s and 90s. A light breeze of 15 to 30 mph is expected this afternoon. Much windier weather will arrive Thursday.

Temperatures will start to cool down on Thursday through the Saturday.
