Rain moving through Albuquerque tonight, more rain chances still on the way
Isolated rain and thunderstorm chances will continue through the weekend across parts of New Mexico. Warmer and drier weather returns statewide by early next week as the winds pick up next Tuesday.
Scattered showers and storms have still popped up today in western and northern parts of the state. Temperatures are also warmer across the state today. Showers and storms are still ongoing tonight, mainly across central New Mexico. Storms have moved through the Albuquerque Metro tonight, bringing us our wettest day so far this year by dropping over half an inch of rain at the Sunport. Rain and storm chances are higher Thursday afternoon now across nearly all of New Mexico. Scattered showers and storms will first develop across the mountains, then spread south through the afternoon. Rain and storms will eventually make their way into the lower elevations later in the afternoon and evening. This includes the Albuquerque Metro and eastern New Mexico.
Rain and storm chances will be lower on Friday as temperatures continue to warm. The best chance will be across the mountains. Saturday will bring a better chance for rain and storms in western and northern New Mexico, but an isolated storm can't be ruled out in the Albuquerque Metro after rain pops up over the Sandias. Drier weather will return for most of the state on Mother's Day, with just an isolated storm chance over the northern mountains. Temperatures will continue their warming trend too with highs above average and generally light winds.
Dry weather returns to the entire state on Monday. Winds will also start picking up. Monday will also be the warmest day over the next several days for many across the state. The strongest winds will be next Tuesday afternoon, when westerly winds will gust anywhere from 35 mph to 55 mph. Winds will be lighter, but still breezy on Wednesday with high temperatures back down around average.
