Hotter and drier weather will be moving into New Mexico
Storms will again be clearing out of New Mexico later tonight. Drier and hotter weather will move in each day into the weekend. Storms first developed late this morning over the Sacramento Mountains where they brought minor to moderate burn scar flooding in the Ruidoso area. Storms have cleared away from the Sacramento Mountains, but then brought severe weather to southeast New Mexico this afternoon. Isolated to scattered storms have also developed in central and northern New Mexico. Finally, storms developed in Albuquerque tonight where they brought measurable rainfall. Storms are ending tonight across the state. A pattern of hotter and drier weather will start Wednesday. Isolated showers and storms will still pop up over the mountains and surrounding areas Wednesday afternoon, but the rain totals will be much lighter. Temperatures will be hotter Wednesday afternoon as well. Even drier air will move into the state from the west Thursday. This will keep the chance for rain along and east of the central mountain chain. This chance will be very spotty though. That's where the chance for rain will stay into this weekend. Temperatures continue to heat up into this weekend as well. The hottest day will be Sunday and Monday next week. Parts of the Albuquerque Metro may hit 100° for the first time this year, with a stretch of triple-digit heat in southern New Mexico. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Sunshine midweek for the Tiers. Bring it on!
ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) – We are finished with the showers and thunderstorms for the next 24 hours as a drier airmass moves in tonight. Wednesday features more sunshine and a comfortable go of it. However, we are not going to have a chance to get used to the sunshine and stay dry for a while before a more unsettled weather pattern settles in for late week into the weekend. Tonight through part of the day Thursday are expected to be dry and breezy. Thursday night may have an isolated shower or two and those without the rain will see some early morning fog Friday before the next round of rain comes through. Most of the weekend including Father's Day will also be cloudy and rainy. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
