Storm chances continue for parts of New Mexico through Wednesday
Rain and storms moving through New Mexico right now will be ending overnight. Isolated to scattered rain and thunderstorm chances will return Tuesday and Wednesday before drier air returns.
A large low pressure system moving into New Mexico brought widespread showers and thunderstorms Monday. Some of these storms dropped heavy rainfall and hail. Temperatures were cooler today all across the state due to the rain and cloud cover. Storms are ending overnight.
A backdoor cold front will move into northeast New Mexico early Tuesday morning, quickly moving south and west across the state. This will bring a risk of heavy rainfall over the HPCC burn scar area by Tuesday afternoon, while isolated storms will develop in western, central, and northern New Mexico. Those storms will again end late Tuesday night.
Another low pressure system will pass north of New Mexico Wednesday, but we'll still see scattered showers and storms Wednesday afternoon along and north of I-40. Rain may actually continue Tuesday night into Wednesday morning in northern New Mexico before more storms develop in the afternoon. They will be capable of heavy rain too, which will bring another threat of burn scar flash flooding over the HPCC area. Temperatures will be even cooler Wednesday afternoon across the whole state.
A stretch of drier weather begins Thursday once the rain and storms move out Wednesday night. A few spotty afternoon storms will be possible in far northern New Mexico and northeast parts of the state, but almost all of the state will stay dry. Temperatures will be heating up too, with the hottest weather so far this year on the way this weekend.
