Strong winds, warm temperatures and fire threat to start the week
A storm system scrapes across New Mexico today and tomorrow, bringing high winds back in the afternoon hours, especially for areas along and south of I-40. This is where wind gusts up to 55 mph will be possible both afternoons. Areas of blowing dust are likely in southern New Mexico. A high fire danger will also develop with these high winds and dry conditions. Meanwhile, isolated showers and storms will move through northwestern and northern New Mexico. Some snow will be possible across mountain peaks as well with an isolated shower possible as far south as Santa Fe and Albuquerque Monday afternoon.
Winds will quickly die down Monday night with calmer conditions by the middle of next week. An area of high pressure will develop over New Mexico, bringing in calmer, but more dry weather. Temperatures will also be climbing. Some of the warmest weather so far this year will arrive by Friday, with Albuquerque's first 90° day of the year possible.

Lightning, rip currents and dangerous seas forecasted in Southern California
A mix of hazardous weather conditions is expected across Southern California through Tuesday afternoon, with the National Weather Service warning of thunderstorms, damaging winds and dangerous conditions for mariners. NWS said the greatest chance of thunderstorms would target areas across the San Gabriel Mountains, the Antelope Valley and the mountains of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. Any storms that develop may bring lightning, heavy downpour, hail and extreme winds. NWS urged residents to take shelter during storms, reminding the public in an Instagram post: 'When thunder roars, go indoors!' At the coast, a beach hazards statement remains in effect through Tuesday afternoon for Ventura County, Malibu, Los Angeles County, Orange County and San Diego County beaches. A long-period south swell is producing elevated surf up to 6 feet, according to the NWS website, with occasional sets reaching 7 feet. Strong rip currents and hazardous swimming conditions are expected, especially along south- and southwest-facing beaches. Officials warned that this brings an increased risk of ocean drowning, and that rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. In addition, NWS said the waves may also wash people off beaches and rocks or capsize small boats near shore. Swimmers are advised to remain out of the water unless near an occupied lifeguard tower. 'Rock jetties can be deadly in such conditions,' stated the NWS coastal hazard message. 'Stay off the rocks.' Offshore, a small craft advisory is in effect until 9 p.m. Monday for waters from Point Piedras Blancas to Point Sal, and from Point Sal to Santa Cruz Island including the waters near San Miguel and Santa Rosa Islands. Seas over 10 feet are making conditions hazardous for smaller vessels. NWS advises inexperienced mariners to avoid navigating in these conditions. Officials recommend checking updated forecasts before heading to the water or mountains and taking all necessary precautions to stay safe during this period of unsettled weather.

Warmer Tuesday as Philadelphia region could hit 90-degree temps this week. Here's the weather forecast.
The weather story this week will be the heat, certainly over the next few days in the Philadelphia region. In addition, the humidity levels will climb, leading to the possibility of storms on Friday evening but mainly Saturday. We'll also be dealing with haze from the wildfires, but most of that should stay aloft. Air quality is expected to notch up to the moderate range, though, due to the possibility of some smoke making it to the surface. How hot will it get? We will be pushing the 90-degree mark for the first time in 2025. The last time we hit 90 degrees was on Aug. 28, 2024, when the high hit 96 degrees, and we may get to that threshold on Wednesday, Thursday, and/or Friday. Areas of smoke and haze from the Canadian wildfires may keep the temperature down just a degree or two, but high pressure, sunny skies and southerly winds will all aid in us feeling the warmest temps of the year so far. When we look at our first 90-degree day, the 30-year average first occurrence in Philly is May 24, so we're over a week behind the average. The warmest we've had all year in 2025 is just 86 degrees, a far cry from where we were last year when Philly saw its first 90-degree day on April 29. If we get our first 90-degree day on Thursday, it will be the latest first 90-plus degree day since 2020, when it didn't occur until June 6. The earliest we've ever had a 90-degree temperature was April 7 in 1929, while the latest first occurrence wasn't until July 14 back in 1972. CBS News Philadelphia Philly has never gone a year in recorded history where a 90-plus degree temp wasn't recorded. In fact, the fewest number of days with high temps in the 90s was just five way back in 1889. The average number of 90-plus degree days in Philly is 30. Also, we are now in June, the start of meteorological summer. We can now look back at the spring season — March, April and May — and see that despite a cool end to May, the average temperature was 3 degrees above normal due to a stretch of warm temps. Our precip was above normal as well, helping us to get out of the drought situation we've been in since last fall. Friday and Saturday are expected to be mostly cloudy with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms, and Sunday will be less humid with plenty of sunshine. This week marks the beginning of a warmer-than-average June in Philadelphia, as the city braces for what could be a hot summer. Here's your 7-day forecast: CBS News Philadelphia Tuesday: Hazy sun, warmer. High 83. Low 54. Wednesday: Getting hotter. High 89. Low 60. Thursday: Heat is on! High 91. Low 66. Friday: Cooler, shower. High 89. Low 67. Saturday: P.m. t-storm. High of 82, Low of 68. Sunday: Mostly sunny. High 81, Low 64. Monday: Clouds increase. High 79. Low 62.
