Drier weather returns to most of New Mexico for the Labor Day weekend. Temperatures will also be slowly cooling off through the weekend.
It’s a fairly active end to the week across New Mexico with scattered showers and storms. The exception is northeast New Mexico where drier, more stable air has moved in. Storms will continue to generally drift south through the rest of the day, and dissipate overnight. A few storms will likely stick around far southeast New Mexico through as late as noon on Saturday. Temperatures are also quite a bit cooler in eastern New Mexico today thanks to a backdoor front that moved through the state last night.
Drier air begins moving into New Mexico this weekend. Storms will still develop though across southern and western New Mexico, with isolated storms in central and northern parts of the state. Even drier weather moves in on Sunday, with just a couple isolated storms in southern New Mexico and southern Colorado. A few more storms may be possible on Labor Day in southeast New Mexico and southern Colorado, along with a chance in the northern mountains, but most areas will stay dry. Temperatures will steadily cool through Labor Day.
Dry weather returns for all of New Mexico Tuesday as high pressure starts building over the state. This will bring in warmer and sunnier weather by Wednesday. Temperatures will stay warm into the end of next week. Some forecast models bring back chances for rain late next week, but there is still a lot of uncertainty with that.
