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.

Strawberry moon makes appearance in western Massachusetts
CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – A strawberry moon was seen in the sky throughout western Massachusetts. A full moon peaked around 3:44 a.m. on Wednesday, but it was also advised to check it out on Wednesday evening. The full moon appeared in hues of orange and red. The strawberry moon is the most colorful of the year as it takes a low path across the sky. The full moon's arc across the sky means that moonlight must travel through a greater portion of the Earth's atmosphere, which can give it a colorful tint. Here's where you can pick your own strawberries in Massachusetts The 'strawberry' name comes from the Native American Algonquian tribes, who lived in the northwestern United States, not the color. The Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota tribes also used the name to mark the wild strawberry season in June. This full moon is also unique because it appeared lower due to the Earth being in 'a major lunar standstill.' This impacts the moon's orbit around the Earth, and the last major lunar standstill occurred in 2006. In case you missed this strawberry moon, it might be partially visible on the night of July 12. The rest of 2025's full moons are expected: July 10- Buck Moon Aug. 9- Sturgeon Moon Sept. 7- Harvest Moon Oct. 6- Hunter's Moon Nov. 5- Beaver Moon Dec. 4- Cold Moon If you have any photos or videos, email us at reportit@ Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
