| episode_narrative | A strong dome of high pressure centered over the southwestern United States along with exceptionally dry air set the stage for a brutal heatwave over New Mexico for several days. The excessive heat starting building over central and western New Mexico on the 20th then spread eastward on the 21st before peaking on the 22nd. A back door cold front pushed into eastern New Mexico on the 23rd bringing relief to the hot temperatures for parts of the area. However, central and western New Mexico continued to bake in the heat through the 23rd. High temperatures ranged from 100 to 110 degrees over nearly the entire state while relative humidity values fell to as low as one percent in some areas. Dozens of record high maximum and record high minimum temperatures were set across the region. Only locations with records that extend back several decades were included in the heatwave summary. A wildfire that broke out in Quay County burned over two volunteer firefighters while they were refilling a water tanker. Unfortunately, one of the firefighters was killed and another was injured. |
| event_narrative | Three people were hospitalized after a brush fire broke out seven miles south of Farmington. According to the Farmington Daily Times, the fire destroyed a number of sheds and vehicles on private property. Two residents and a firefighter were treated for smoke inhalation and other minor injuries. Investigators say the fire was caused by a welding torch, being used to dismantle a table. |
