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.

(AP) -- SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - The House has approved a proposal to raise

taxes on businesses to shore up the program that provides jobless

benefits to out-of-work New Mexicans. The unemployment insurance

trust fund will run out of money by next year because of increasing

claims by jobless workers. The bill approved yesterday would boost

taxes on businesses by $20 million.
