Isolated storms return to eastern New Mexico Friday with hotter weather
Severe storms moved through eastern New Mexico Thursday afternoon. Another round of isolated storms will develop Friday with hotter and mostly dry weather this weekend.
A couple tornadoes touched down in Roosevelt County this afternoon, but thankfully there were no reports of damage. Those storms have been out of New Mexico for a while, but a few storms have redeveloped tonight around Clovis. These storms will also move out of New Mexico soon.
Drier weather will continue to move into New Mexico into this weekend. Storm chances will still be possible Friday afternoon in far eastern New Mexico. That includes another threat of severe weather. Temperatures will continue a warming trend across the state Friday. On Saturday, only a spotty shower or two is likely in northeast New Mexico, but on Sunday, more isolated storms are possible in northern and eastern New Mexico. Temperatures will again continue to warm up through the weekend, with Sunday being the hottest day for most.
More moisture will move into eastern New Mexico Monday, bringing a better chance for showers and thunderstorms up to the northern mountains as well. Outflow from those storms will push moisture as far west as the Continental Divide Tuesday morning. This will bring a more widespread chance for storms Tuesday afternoon. Rain chances move back into eastern parts of the state Wednesday.
