Hi: 97° | Lo: 69°
Condition Glyph
The first day of August is shaping up to be a breezy and hot day with a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky. Upper level high pressure will keep our rain chances at bay, and help our afternoon high temperatures to climb into the mid 90s to around 103°. So yes... expect it to be warmer than it has been recently. Winds will blow from the south and southwest at 15 to 25 mph by the afternoon with some gusts upwards of 35-40 mph possible as well.

CANNON AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. (AP) - Officials at Cannon Air Force Base near Clovis say electricity will be shut down Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for repairs to the power grid.

Non-mission essential personnel have been ordered to stand by and are not reporting for duty until directed by their commanders.

Many services on the base are closed, including the bank, credit union, library, community center, commissary and the base clinic. The dining facility is operating on its normal schedule with a limited menu.

Power was lost on the base early Thursday.
