Showers and storms will continue into the overnight hour, but most will end by early Saturday morning. Drier air starts moving in this weekend as an area of high pressure sets up over the state starting Saturday. Isolated storms will still develop across New Mexico Saturday and Sunday afternoons, but the rain will be more hit-or-miss. Still, these storms could produce locally heavy rainfall. Temperatures will be warming through the weekend too, back to around normal for this time of year on Sunday.
