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 This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
