Few storms in New Mexico for now and hot temperatures return
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Muggy conditions persist in the wake of Thursday's strong thunderstorms in East New Mexico, with lingering rainfall across Northeast New Mexico, as well as parts of the Four Corners, accompanied by somewhat gusty winds. Near-freezing temperatures are confined to the higher peaks of the Northern Mountains, while elsewhere, it mostly starts off in the upper 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Somewhat-persistent upper-level westerly winds with less moisture, along with a slight nudge in the jet stream to the north with a high-pressure system building to the south, will combine with the daytime heating, as well as with the lingering low-level moisture, to produce fewer storms in the mountains of East New Mexico today. Elsewhere, some clouds will pass on through with temperatures warming up well into the 80s and 90s for most central to southern areas, while the lingering muggy conditions will lead to northern areas reaching the 70s to the 80s.
Drier air aloft is ahead, but the pendulum swing pattern of muggy mornings with breezy easterly winds shifting to southwesterly drier winds in the afternoons, forming storms to the east, will develop ahead as the latest storm system moves away. Temperatures will rise ahead with much clearer skies up until later this weekend.

Hot and dry weather this weekend
Drier weather will continue to move into New Mexico into this weekend. Storm chances will still be possible Friday afternoon in far eastern New Mexico. That includes another threat of severe weather. Temperatures will continue a warming trend across the state Friday. On Saturday, only a spotty shower or two is likely in northeast New Mexico, but on Sunday, more isolated storms are possible in northern and eastern New Mexico. Temperatures will again continue to warm up through the weekend, with Sunday being the hottest day for most. More moisture will move into eastern New Mexico Monday, bringing a better chance for showers and thunderstorms up to the northern mountains as well. Outflow from those storms will push moisture as far west as the Continental Divide Tuesday morning. This will bring a more widespread chance for storms Tuesday afternoon. Rain chances move back into eastern parts of the state Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Rain ends, sun breaks out Saturday afternoon
We have a rainy start to Saturday as a cold front and low pressure system works through the region, but have no fear! The weekend does not look like a wash out! By afternoon our winds will begin to shift to the Northwest allowing for dry air to filter in from the west leaving us with a partly sunny finish to the day. There could be an isolated spot shower or two working southeast during the afternoon, otherwise temperatures climb to the middle and upper 70's. We are watching for some additional wildfire smoke to pass through the region, especially close to the ground, leaving to unhealthy air quality especially in the counties highlighted in gray! Sunday features partly to mostly sunny skies, and temperatures climbing into the upper 70's Have a great weekend! -Skytracker Chief Meteorologist Haley Bouley Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
