Less rain/snow, warmer temperatures and breezier weather for New Mexico
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Rain activity with high-elevation snow is moving across far-Northern New Mexico with some showers in Southern New Mexico as well. While westerly winds are slowly drifting the leftover precipitation to the east, southwesterly upper-level winds are pushing a few of the individual storms to the northeast. Meanwhile, easterly winds are still bringing in plenty of surface moisture with fog in the high elevations through the northern valley floors, as well as in parts of the East Highlands. Temperatures are mostly starting off in the upper 30s and 40s across the region, except for temperatures in the lower 50s in southern areas. Many areas to the north are a few degrees above the freezing mark or even below freezing.

Temperatures will be once again higher today, reaching the upper 40s to the 60s for most northern areas, closer to normal for this time of the year, while it will range from the 60s to the low 80s elsewhere, slightly below 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. Conditions will clear out for even more areas tomorrow with warmer air being accompanied by drier air to end of the week, but more precipitation will likely return on Saturday before more-pleasant weather returns on Mother's Day, all before winds pick up next week.
