Rain chances increase with slightly cooler temperatures

Heat continued across the state today. Higher chances for showers and storms move into eastern and northern New Mexico Sunday and Monday as better moisture moves into those parts of the state Sunday morning. The highest chances for rain are going to be in northeast and east-central New Mexico, where a couple strong thunderstorms will be possible. Temperatures will be much cooler Monday afternoon in northeastern New Mexico, while the rest of the state will see cooler temperatures as well.

Drier and warmer weather returns statewide on Tuesday. A stretch of triple-digit heat will begin again in southern and southeastern parts of New Mexico, with the heat sticking around into the end of next week. Isolated afternoon storms are possible again next Friday.
