Less storms with hotter & drier air around New Mexico
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Muggy conditions are still present in wake of yesterday's severe thunderstorms for much of East New Mexico with rain-free conditions now mostly across New Mexico with somewhat-gusty easterly gap winds for a few areas. Near-freezing temperatures are confined to the higher peaks of the Northern Mountains, while elsewhere is mostly starting off in the upper 40s, 50s, and 60s. Forecast Continues Below Film: These productions were filmed at White Sands. Have you seen them? New Mexico News Insiders: Who Will Fix New Mexico's Mental Health Problems? News: Governor's Office: Operation Zia Shield is different than situation in California Somewhat-persistent upper-level westerly winds with less moisture, along with a slight nudge in the jet stream to the north with a low pressure system departing Northeast New Mexico, will combine with the daytime heating, as well as with the lingering low-level moisture, to produce a few storms in the mountains to East New Mexico today, as well as very few parts of the Rio Grande Valley. Elsewhere, some clouds will pass on through with temperatures warming up well into the high 80s, 90s, and above 100 degrees 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 eventually moves away. Temperatures will continue to rise ahead with much clearer skies through this weekend. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
