    HAPPY MONDAY MORNING. AND HEY, WE GOT THROUGH ONE MONTH OF THE WINDY SEASON. WE'VE GOT ONLY THREE MORE LEFT. AND BY THE WAY, NEXT MONTH OR TOMORROW KICKS OFF THE AVERAGE WINDIEST MONTH OF OUR WINDY SEASON. SO YOU LOOK AT THE SETUP HERE, THESE ARE AVERAGE WINDY MONTHS IF YOU WILL, OR THE WINDY SEASON AND MARCH AND JUNE ARE TIED FOR THE THIRD WINDIEST MONTH OF THE WINDY SEASON. APRIL IS THE WINDIEST MONTH, MAY THE 2ND. SO YEAH, WE KICK OFF THE WINDIEST MONTH FOR TOMORROW AND ALL PARTS OF NEW MEXICO.

    CHECK THIS OUT. IT IS THE WARMEST WEEK SO FAR IN 2025, AND WE ARE GOING TO BE FLIRTING WITH 80 DEGREES THIS WEEK. WE COULD DO IT. AND IF WE DO HIT 80 DEGREES HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE, IT WOULD BE EARLIER THAN AVERAGE BECAUSE OUR AVERAGE FIRST 80 IS APRIL 15TH. SO OF COURSE THAT WOULD BE BEFORE THAT. MARCH 9TH IS THE EARLIEST ON RECORD IN 1989. THE LATEST IS MAY 16TH IN 1933. BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE MAKING A RUN AT IT THE NEXT FEW DAYS FOR SURE. BREEZY AND WARMER TODAY. NEAR RECORD WARMTH AHEAD.
