This is making it feel humid and even muggy in eastern NM. That moisture will help a couple of storms form over the Sacramento and Guadalupe Mountains this afternoon. Clouds will form over the other high terrain in the state, but skies will stay dry. Temperatures will be even hotter than yesterday in the Rio Grande Valley and west. Eastern NM will stay a couple degrees cooler than Tuesday, still making it into the 80s, 90s and 100s across the state.
