A stream of monsoon moisture will bring storm chances to parts of New Mexico for the next several days. Temperatures will slowly be cooling off too.
A plume of monsoon moisture is bringing more showers and storms across New Mexico Thursday afternoon. The highest chances for rain will stay in western New Mexico through the rest of this evening, with isolated storms possible in the Albuquerque Metro. Temperatures are also cooler in western New Mexico thanks to this moisture and rain. While triple-digits and record heat are back across parts of eastern New Mexico. Most of the rain and storms will end overnight, but spotty showers can’t be ruled out across parts of southern and northern New Mexico through Friday morning.
Another active afternoon of monsoon storms is on the way Friday with rain and thunderstorm chances across almost all of New Mexico, except the far southern and southeastern part of the state. That’s where temperatures will again be the hottest. Monsoon moisture will continue to stream into New Mexico through the weekend, bringing more widespread chances for showers and thunderstorms, with the highest chances across mountain ranges, and in western, central, and northern New Mexico. High temperatures will also finally be back closer to normal for this time of year by Sunday afternoon.
This active monsoon pattern will not be letting up next week, with daily rain and thunderstorm chances sticking around. There will likely be an uptick even in thunderstorm coverage staring next Tuesday, which could bring heavy rainfall across parts of New Mexico, and a threat of burn scar flash flooding. Around the middle of next week, highs may even be slightly cooler than normal for parts of the state.
