Dang

From the NWS in ABQ:

West to southwest winds will increase today across New Mexico and moreso on Sunday. Sustained speeds on Sunday will range from 20 to 35 mph with gusts up to 50 mph. These winds are in response to an upper level system that will track across the central rockies. The strongest winds each day will be located over the west central and Southwest Mountains as well as areas along and east of the Central Mountain chain.

The unseasonably strong winds will combine with  critically dry and very warm to hot conditions across the region. Even some near record warmth may occur throughout the southeast plains on Sunday. Extreme fire weather conditions will develop statewide today and linger into the evening hours... then redevelop and potentially be more dangerous on Sunday. The threat may persist into Monday for the eastern plains of New Mexico where windy conditions are likely again.

This shit is gettin' OLD.  It's way beyond "old" but I don't have words at my command to express just how annoying and obnoxious this situation really is.

Meanwhile... in Boston:

There were over a million people at the parade, according to what I read at the usual (hockey) source.
