‘Cool’ front Tuesday; windy western slopes — Your 9-Day Forecast

In May, I planted some vegetables, peppers, and tomatoes in my Aunt Patsy’s garden. She lives in Alamogordo, and I went to visit her last week. WELL, WELL, WELL!!! Woooo-hoooo!! Now, that’s a zucchini! We sliced that delicious thing up and grilled it with a little olive oil and garlic. I guess all this heat has been good for one thing.

TONIGHT:   The skies will be clear, and the winds will be light and variable at calm to 10 mph.  The low will be 66.   Early in the morning, the winds will begin to shift east as a cool front starts to blow in.

FORECAST:  Tuesday will be sunny but windy at times as a cool front pushes in. Tuesday’s high will be 90, and the east winds will range from 10-25 mph. Expect stronger gusts on the west slopes of the mountains.  Wednesday will be sunny and gorgeous with a high of 87.  Winds will be light and variable.  Thursday will be sunny and 90 with light winds.  Friday will once again be windy on the west slopes as another “cool” front blows in right before the weekend.  Friday’s high: 89.  Saturday will be sunny and cooler with a high of 87.  Sunday will be mild and beautiful with a high of 87.
