Lingering fog & showers around New Mexico but temperatures slowly warming
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Rain activity with high-elevation snow is moving across far-Northeast New Mexico. While westerly winds are slowly drifting the leftover precipitation to the east in front of the last push of moisture moving through the Four Corners with another low pressure system, southeasterly upper-level winds are pushing a few of the individual storms to the northwest. Meanwhile, easterly winds are still bringing in plenty of surface moisture with fog in the high elevations, as well as in parts of the East Highlands. Temperatures are mostly starting off in the 30s and 40s across the region, except for temperatures in the lower 50s in Southeast New Mexico, while many areas to the north are a few degrees above the freezing mark or even below freezing.
Forecast Continues Below
Slightly-less daytime thunderstorms will form today, but locally some heavy rainfall is still possible with some lightning strikes, small hail, and erratic wind gusts. Temperatures will be higher today but will only reach the upper 30s to the 50s for some northern areas, still below normal for this time of the year, while it will range from the high 50s to the 70s elsewhere, also considerably cooler than normal.
Leftover showers and rumbles of thunder with high-elevation snow in the Northern Mountains are in store today with a weaker low pressure system now merging with the departing storm system to the northeast, but conditions will clear out for most tomorrow with warmer air being accompanied by drier air to end of the week, but more precipitation is likely ahead before more-pleasant weather returns on Mother's Day.

Storm Team 3: Weather Aware Today, rain possible all week
Let's have a fabulous Monday! The active pattern we saw over the weekend continues today to kick off this new work week. Today will have a very similar setup to what we saw for both weekend days: plenty of dry time with strong storms once they get going. Isolated stronger storms are possible through the morning hours – we've already been picking up a few on Vipir Radar. More numerous storms are likely this afternoon and evening: main timing will be from 12 pm through late this evening. Scattered severe storms will be possible with our main impact of strong, damaging winds (40 mph or greater) and torrential rain. Heavy rain could lead to localized street flooding. Rain chance will gradually taper off overnight with only a few showers lingering into early Tuesday morning. Rain chances remain likely for our Tuesday tomorrow, with isolated severe storms possible. Our main impacts remain the same: strong gusty wind and torrential rain. A cold front will stall out across the southeast and will continue to drive in ways of heavy rain and thunderstorms each day for the rest of the week. It will start to weaken and lose its energy by Wednesday – this is will help decrease our coverage risk of severe storms. Medium risk today, low risk tomorrow to a general t-storm risk Wednesday. By the end of the week, we will see our pattern return to typical summertime sea breeze storms in the afternoon. Sea breeze storms can still pack a punch, but the overall coverage of severe storms will drop off by Wednesday. Temperatures will start the week seasonably hot in the upper 80s and start to climb back into the lower 90s towards the end of the week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Portland temps in the 90s on Monday, cooler on the Oregon Coast
PORTLAND, Ore. () — A daily high temperature record was set in Portland on Sunday as a KOIN 6 Weather Alert remains in place through Monday. Expect wall-to-wall sunshine from the coast to the Cascades, with a few passing high clouds. LIST: Portland interactive fountains open for summer The central Oregon coast could see some fog and low clouds early, but even those will burn off in the morning. Highs will stay cool along the coastline in the mid to upper 60s. It'll be a great place to find some relief from the heat building around the valley this afternoon. Temperature in the Portland Metro Area should top out in the lower-to-mid 90s. The record for June 8 is 95 degrees, set back in 1955. A cooling trend is on tap later in the week when temperatures will cool back into the 70s by Wednesday and remain there through Friday. There is no significant rainfall in sight for the next 7 days, so the dry weather will continue. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
