Albuquerque Pride Parade New Mexico Strange: Holy dirt and healing water: A look at NM's miraculous locations Trending: Police video shows the property of couple accused of abusing kids in Deming 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. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
