More moisture moves into New Mexico through the weekend
Temperatures are going to be even hotter this weekend across the state with high temperatures climbing into the mid-90s this weekend in the Albuquerque Metro. Afternoon rain and thunderstorms will pop up across the mountain ranges first, before spreading into the lower elevations late in the afternoon and evening. Most of the storms will be over the mountains though this weekend. Heavy rain is possible out of some of these storms, which will bring a risk of burn scar flash flooding, especially in the Ruidoso area.
A storm system will move into New Mexico Monday as it combines with moisture from what is currently a tropical storm in the eastern Pacific. This will bring widespread showers and storms across New Mexico, with a band of storms moving across the state Monday morning, then scattered showers and storms through the afternoon. Temperatures will also be cooler statewide on Monday with the rain. Isolated storm chances return to the northern half of the state Tuesday. Another low pressure system will move across New Mexico Wednesday, again bringing scattered showers and starts to a large part of the state. Drier weather will return statewide starting Thursday.

Hundreds flock to Kirtland to watch military skydiving, aerobatics
Jun. 1—People sat in their lawn chairs and held loved ones while looking up at the sky where they saw the U.S. Army Parachute Team jump out of a plane and showcase their skills and planes — including a MiniJet — roar across the sky. "It's just a baby," New Mexico Tech student Atticus Stewart said as the MiniJet flew upside down before turning around and speeding past the spectators. "The Minijet is over 1,000 pounds lighter and 60 mph faster than any current Indy car," an announcer said. "No way," Stewart said. "That's crazy." Stewart was one of hundreds of people to attend the final day of the Kirtland Air Fiesta, which began Saturday at Kirtland Air Force Base. Aside from jumps by the U.S. Army Parachute Team — also known as the Golden Knights — people watched the F-16 Viper Demonstration Team from Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina perform as well as a comprehensive showcase by the 58th Special Operations Wing, including the MC-130, AC-130, HC-130, HH-60, Huey and CV-22 aircraft. They also saw a F-35 fighter jet, a fifth-generation stealth plane, zoom across the clear skies. The event also included live demonstrations and "static demonstrations," where guests went inside military aircraft including the Grumman E-2 Hawkeye and B-52 Stratofortress. "It is a good historical footprint of aviation history," said Greg Holmes with the Roadrunner Convoy, an event participant. Albuquerque resident Ashley Dunbar said she was glad to be back at Air Fiesta, which last took place in 2019. "It brings back a sense of normalcy, after years of social distancing and the pandemic and all that," she said. The event also provided a chance for 6-year-old Cora Scott to see the planes and jets, which she said "are really cool." "This is her opportunity to get up close to something she always admires in the sky," said Cora Scott's mother, Marla Scott. It is also a way for people to get to see another side of the military. "It almost makes it to where they're real people," Marla Scott said. Kirtland wanted to make sure people in the community had a chance to see what it does and to "come out and experience" all the different aircraft it has, Air Fiesta director, Lt. Col. Andrew Freitag, said in an interview, adding "we're thinking" the event could take place every two years. South Valley resident Marie Trujillo said she attended the event because she loves looking at military planes and wanted to honor her brother who served in the military. "This is awesome," she said. "This keeps the kids busy and it's entertaining." As Trujillo's grandson, Malekai McMurray, 14, looked at the planes, he said, "I would love to be in one, one day."
