An early season heat wave will build across the southern tier of the United States, creating"unstable conditions" for wildfires and forcing some residents to conserve power usage.
"We are expecting above normal temperatures and what that means for fires is generally unstable conditions," Todd Shoemake, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, told CNN."So if you do start to see fire growth, a lot of times it can become pretty explosive and really rapidly gaining in power and heat."A ridge of high pressure will build across the Southwest this weekend, allowing for record-breaking heat to settle in.
— NWS Lubbock May 14, 2022 Winds will begin to increase, however, and shift rapidly as a cold front arrives into New Mexico by Monday morning."This front will do a couple of things," the NWS office in Albuquerque cautioned on Saturday."First it may make it into the Rio Grande Valley for a gap wind event with wind speeds 20-30 mph. Second it will raise dewpoints for central/eastern New Mexico.
— NWS Albuquerque May 14, 2022 On Sunday, Roswell in New Mexico and Midland and Odessa in Texas will see high temperatures creep up into the triple digits, remaining there until at least Thursday.For much of East Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana, the concern isn't just the temperatures themselves, but the prolonged period of time in which the heat will stick around.Even locations known for being hot are hotter than usual.
