Overnight, an upper level short wave trough will begin to move over New Mexico. Along with the trough, a backdoor cold front will move through eastern and central New Mexico. This cold front will bring temperatures across the state back down to mild levels. The cool down will last through Thursday.
Along with a brief cool down, the upper level shortwave trough will be bringing light rain to parts of southern New Mexico on Wednesday and Thursday. A band of precipitation will stretch from the Gila to the Sacramento mountains.
A weekend storm is on its way to New Mexico. However, there is a bit of uncertainty in the forecast. A low pressure system will make its way over Arizona late this week. The American model has the low pressure tracking north near the four-corners over the weekend. This track keeps precipitation minimal and only in the north. The European model has the low tracking south towards the Gila and the bootheel. This track will bring more widespread precipitation across the state.

Some showers, some sunshine for Father's Day Weekend
The weekend forecast doesn't look perfect, but overall not bad compared to some weekends we've seen as of late! Saturday starts off with a few showers, especially in Southern Vermont, south of Route 4 . That's we're rainfall totals could reach up to 0.25″ and we're drying out as we head towards late morning. At that point Northern zones will start to see some clearing leaving us with a partly sunny afternoon, unfortunately southern zones hold on to the clouds for most of the day. Father's Day looks to be a great one with partly sunny skies and temperatures in the middle 70s. One or two spot showers can't be ruled out in the higher terrain, but don't let that stop you from enjoying camping, fishing or golfing with Dad! Have a great weekend and Happy Father's Day! -Skytracker Chief Meteorologist Haley Bouley Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Storm Team 3: Hot and stormy weekend, hotter afternoons next week
The hot and stormy pattern will continue into the weekend for the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry. Sub-tropical moisture continues to flow into the southeast due to a strong Bermuda high. This deeper moisture will lead to scattered rain and storms. Rainfall rates will be in excess of 1-2″ per hour at times, leading to localized flooding concerns in areas with poor drainage. The best timing for storms on Saturday and Sunday will be between noon and the early evening, during the peak heating hours. Rain chances will begin to decrease once temperatures begin to cool off near sunset. The extra moisture over the region will make conditions feel much hotter over the coming days. Heat index values will be over 103°F at times. The heat index is the temperature that your body senses because higher humidity makes it harder for your body to cool off. Heat index values over 100°F can be dangerous and may lead to heat exhaustion and heat stoke if you do not take precautions to cooldown and to stay hydrated while engaging in outdoor activities. Even hotter conditions are expected next week when compared to what we expect for the weekend due to lower rain and storm chances Tuesday through Friday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
