Dry Monday before rain and storm chances increase rest of week
Take advantage of this dry Monday as rain and thunderstorm chances increase tonight and continue for the rest of the week. Periods of rain will develop later this evening and continue through Tuesday. Scattered heavy and gusty thunderstorms become more common Wednesday afternoon through Saturday afternoon.
It's been a beautiful Monday morning with temperatures quickly climbing into the 60s and 70s. Sunny skies this morning will eventually fade away to clouds this afternoon. Despite the clouds, we are not expecting any wet weather today. Highs will top out in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Today is the last day we can guarantee dry weather until this upcoming Sunday, so get any weather dependent outdoor activities and work done today!
A large area of low pressure that's been impacting the southeastern United States will drift northward later tonight into Tuesday. We will be on the northern fringe of the storm system, which means we'll see showers developing as early as later this evening and then rounds of rain likely Tuesday.
Tuesday looks much cooler with on and off rain, but right now doesn't appear to be a complete washout. A batch of heavier rain and thunderstorms will be possible late Tuesday evening into the early overnight hours Wednesday. This is when some areas may receive locally 1" of rain or higher.
Wednesday will be warm and muggy with a few isolated showers during the morning hours. Any sunshine Wednesday will not be our friend as numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected by afternoon and evening. These storms will have the capability to produce drenching downpours, lightning, thunder, and gusty winds. Rainfall rates during these storms could be 1 to 2" per hour, so localized street and highway flooding is possible in poor drainage areas. If we have any sunshine, isolated strong to severe storms would be possible.
We are in a similar weather pattern Thursday and Friday with partly sunny weather during the morning hours with scattered hit or miss strong thunderstorms during the afternoon and early evening hours. Not every neighborhood will get a storm these afternoons, but places that do could see strong gusty winds, hail, lightning, and drenching downpours. This stretch looks warmer with highs in the upper 70s to middle 80s.
A cold front approaching Saturday will spark off more thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Depending on the timing of the front, Saturday has our best chance of severe weather. Stay with the WJZ First Alert Weather Team as we continue to finetune Saturday's forecast. Despite any storms, temperatures should warm well into the 80s Saturday afternoon.
Sunday looks less muggy, but pleasantly warm with partly sunny skies and highs in the lower to middle 80s.

When and where Saharan dust storm and 'blood rain' could hit the UK this week
The UK's topsy-turvy weather is set to continue this week, with forecasters hinting at the possibility of 'blood rain' heading to UK shores. A brief blast of heat is expected for much of the country later in the coming days - only to quickly be replaced by torrential rain. And, what's more, it is predicted the downpours will bring with it some Saharan dust. Here, Yahoo News UK looks at exactly what Saharan dust is and what it could mean for the coming days. It's a mixture of sand, detritus and dust from the Sahara Desert that have been blown thousands of miles by strong winds in the upper part of the atmosphere as far north as British shores. However, for it to end up on the ground, it needs to be carried there by a meteorological vehicle, such as rain. According to the Met Office, Britain's official forecaster: "As raindrops fall, they collect particles of dust on the way down. Then when the raindrops land on something and eventually evaporate, they leave behind a layer of dust." This is sometimes referred to as 'blood rain'. According to Met Office forecasters, there are currently "hints of a little bit of Saharan dust in the atmosphere on Thursday and perhaps Friday". Thunderstorms forecast for later in the week will "potentially wash any sand out of the atmosphere". Heavy rain is currently expected to start in Northern Ireland, western Wales and south west England on Wednesday night, before moving north and east over Thursday. This is then predicted to be followed by a second band of rain following the same pattern over Friday and Saturday. However, downpours are also expected to be preceded by high temperatures, reaching almost 30C in parts of southern and central England. Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Mike Silverstone, said: 'After largely benign weather early in the week, some intense, thundery showers will move in on Wednesday evening. "These thunderstorms are being triggered by some warm, humid air that is moving into the UK from the south. The intense rainfall could see 20-40mm accumulating over just a few hours, which could cause some disruption. "While there are no severe weather warnings issued at the moment, it is possible thunderstorm warnings may be issued this week.' The most obvious impact most will see from 'blood rain' is a reddish residue left on cars, pavements and garden furniture. In 2022, Saharan dust left a red tinge to snow at ski resorts in the French Pyrenees, while staff at Legoland in Germany had to deploy jet washers to hose down attractions before visitors arrived. BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood advised the public to keep an eye out for "impressive sunrise/sets" as a result of the phenomenon. However, it can also have more serious consequences, particularly for people with respiratory conditions, such as asthma, COPD or bronchitis. 'If there's a lot of air pollution in the air [and] if you have a pre-existing lung condition, those fine particles can get into your airway and irritate airways that may already be inflamed," said Karen Spillett, deputy head of health advice at Asthma and Lung UK. "If you're out and about and you have a reliever inhaler, make sure you've got that reliever inhaler with you.' She added: 'If you do start to get symptoms — that might be coughing, wheezing, tightness across your chest, feeling a bit more breathless — you can take that reliever inhaler and that can hopefully help with your symptoms.' One of the last widespread instances of Saharan dust affecting Europe was in March 2022, when parts of Germany, Spain and France all found themselves blanketed with a layer of red debris. But it has also struck more recently, such as last month, when the phenomenon left a brown haze hanging over Athens, the Greek capital. And last year, dust clouds over Italy saw temperatures in June approach 40C. Closer to the dust's starting point, in Africa, a dust storm in Senegalese capital Dakar shortly before Christmas reduced visibility to less than 500 metres.

Another round of storms develop in New Mexico Tuesday afternoon
Storms are moving out of eastern New Mexico tonight, but another chance for storms returns Tuesday afternoon. Hottest weather so far this year moves in by the weekend. It's been a very active day across parts of New Mexico Monday with showers and storms developing dropping heavy rain and large hail and causing strong winds. These storms are moving out of the state tonight, but a couple strong to severe storms may redevelop in far southeast New Mexico over the next couple of hours. This is where a Severe Thunderstorm Watch continues until 1 AM. Another round of showers and storms will develop in similar areas Tuesday afternoon, but with more storms in southern and southeastern New Mexico. Southeastern parts of the state will also likely see severe weather in the afternoon and evening with large hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy rainfall possible. There is a high risk of burn scar flash flooding in the Ruidoso area tomorrow afternoon as well. Storms will move out of the state late Tuesday night. A few isolated storms will develop again in the mountains and eastern New Mexico Wednesday afternoon, but it will be much quieter than today or Tuesday. This is as drier air is moving into New Mexico again. Rain chances will continue to dwindle into this weekend, with just a few very spotty rain showers popping up in eastern New Mexico. Our first taste of the monsoon high pressure will set up over New Mexico this weekend. This is a sign our weather pattern is shifting towards the monsoon. However, the high pressure won't bring much in terms of rain, but it will bring our hottest weather so far this year. A stretch of triple-digit heat will begin Friday in southern parts of New Mexico. The Albuquerque Metro may even hit 100° by Sunday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
