More strong to severe storms overnight into early Sunday, staying weather aware
Tonight: Additional storms will fire up around sunset or shortly after this evening, remaining scattered through the overnight. Some of these could become strong to severe with gusty winds and small hail. Lows will be in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Sunday: Morning storms are expected, some of which could be strong with gusty winds and small hail, although the severe risk is fairly small. Outside of a few scattered storms in the afternoon, conditions dry out for most of us as skies become partly cloudy with highs in the lower 80s.
Monday: Our weather aware continues into Monday with another round of storms likely during the afternoon and evening, posing the risk for severe storms with gusty winds and small hail being the primary threats.
Next Week: As a stationary boundary remains draped across the area, temperatures and humidity levels will not fluctuate much over the next seven days.
Highs will stay in the middle 80s, slightly warming into the upper 80s by the end of the week, keeping heat index values each day in the lower to middle 90s as our humidity remains quite oppressive.
This front will continue to provide opportunities for storms mainly in the heating of the afternoons each day. Rain chances become lowest and more spotty on Wednesday, then increasing in coverage again for Thursday into Saturday.

Northern Lights Update: Aurora Alert For Monday Night In 16 States
The Northern Lights may be visible in the U.S. overnight on Monday, Aug. 18 and Tuesday, Aug. 19 after a geomagnetic storm was forecast by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center. With the moon rising in the early hours this week, the night skies will be dark enough for any auroral activity to be visible on the northern horizon from 10 U.S. states. Mid-to-late August is considered the beginning of the Northern Lights season in the Northern Hemisphere. Northern Lights Tonight: When To See Aurora NOAA's three-day forecast indicates a minor geomagnetic storm, measured at a value of G1 on a scale of G1 to G5. According to NOAA's forecast, the Kp index — which provides a rough guide to the intensity of aurora displays — may reach 5. NOAA's latest aurora viewline (see below) indicate that aurora displays are a possibility in northern U.S. states and Canada, with 16 U.S. states having a chance from around 10:00 p.m. EDT on Monday, Aug. 18 through until around 4:00 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, Aug. 19. 'Late on 18 Aug, active conditions followed by G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm levels on 19 Aug are likely, due to the onset of influence from a recurrent, negative polarity CH HSS,' reads an update from NOAA. CH HSS refers to coronal hole high speed streams, which means the solar wind can escape more easily from the sun, and will be fast-moving. Northern Lights Tonight: Where To See Aurora Parts of U.S. states that could potentially see aurora — if forecasts prove correct — include Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, northern Illinois, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Check NOAA's 30-minute forecast or use the Glendale App for up-to-the-minute forecasts. This increase is solar activity arrives just as the night skies are getting darker earlier, and for longer periods, at mid-northern latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. Even the possibility of displays of the aurora borealis in the U.S. is down to the current solar maximum, the peak of an 11-years cycle during which the sun's magnetic activity waxes and wanes. Having probably peaked in late 2024, the sun is now thought to be on the wane, but as well as yet to be proven (there may be a double peak), the finest aurora displays often occur in the few years after solar maximum. Aurora will likely be sighted in the U.S. for a few more years. Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.

What is the Farmers' Almanac predicting for the 2025-26 winter season in New Mexico?
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – As the summer winds down and fall approaches, the Farmers' Almanac is looking ahead to winter with a new set of weather predictions for the 2025-2026 season. In its press release, issued Monday, the Farmers' Almanac summed up the winter season for much of the U.S. in three words: 'Chill, Snow, Repeat.' What should New Mexico expect? According to the Farmers' Almanac, the Southern Plains, which includes New Mexico, Texas, western Kansas, Oklahoma, and portions of Nebraska, may see a wetter-than-average winter with periodic cold snaps. The region might also experience freezing precipitation with limited snow. What the 'Old Farmer's Almanac' is predicting for fall 2025 in New Mexico What will winter be like across the country? The Farmers' Almanac predicted 'consistent cold snaps' from the Pacific Northwest to New England; frequent or periodic snowstorms in the Pacific Northwest, the Great Lakes, the Northeast, and even the Mid-Atlantic. Other predictions include blasts of very frigid weather 'from the Northern Plains to northern New England' in January and February, and possible snowstorms in North Carolina and Tennessee as late as late February/early March, Sandi Duncan, the editor of the Farmers' Almanac, told Nexstar. Bouts of snow may also be in the cards for northern Texas in December and February, according to the almanac. 'We don't think the cold and snow that some southern areas saw last year will repeat, but we do see some wild swings in the temperatures that will keep our winter [on] the 'Snow, Chill, Repeat' loop and may surprise some folks with wet snow that shows up instead of rain,' Duncan said. How accurate is the Farmers' Almanac? The Farmers' Almanac, established in 1818, develops its forecasts using a somewhat secret formula involving celestial bodies and past weather patterns. But like the Old Farmer's Almanac (a separate publication), it hasn't always been the most accurate predictor of upcoming weather events, according to researchers. A study conducted by John E. Walsh and David Allen, published in the 1981 edition of Weatherwise, showed that only 50.7% of both almanacs' historical temperature forecasts and 51.9% of their precipitation forecasts panned out correctly. 'It's more like a crapshoot of trusting something that far into the future since there are times the forecast is blown in the first 24 hours,' Rich Segal, meteorologist at Nexstar's KXAN, previously explained. Jon Gottschalck, the chief of the Operational Prediction Branch at NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, had also told Nexstar that forecasts that claim to predict specific weather events months ahead of time cannot be considered reliable. 'It's just not possible to do that,' Gottshalck said. The NOAA's Climate Prediction Center does, meanwhile, share its own long-range seasonal outlooks (e.g., forecasts for the chances of above or below-average temperatures, precipitation), although those outlooks do not attempt to predict specific weather events. The editors of the Farmers' Almanac still touted the accurate aspects of its previous winter outlook (2024-2025) in a blog post published in July. But they blamed 'La Niña' for the absence of a 'cold spell' at the end of January 2025, and less wet weather than they had originally predicted. While no forecast can claim perfect accuracy, our predictions have proven useful for generations of planners and outdoor enthusiasts,' Duncan said. 'We continuously refine our method but acknowledge that Mother Nature always has the final say.' Nexstar's Addy Bink and Alix Martichoux contributed to this report. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
