A cold front is bringing storms to parts of New Mexico and gusty winds this evening into the Albuquerque Metro. Isolated storm chances will continue in parts of the state into next week.
A cold front is pushing south and west across New Mexico Thursday afternoon, bringing storms across the northern mountains. These storms have brought heavy rain and hail to parts of northern New Mexico. These storms are moving to the south and southeast. The front will move into the Albuquerque Metro this evening, bringing 25 to 35 mph east winds with gusts up to 50 mph. This should also cause a few isolated showers to develop around the Metro through 10 PM. These winds will die down overnight as the showers and storms move into southern and southeastern New Mexico as they fall apart.
Drier air begins moving into northern New Mexico Friday, with isolated storms returning to southwest and southeast New Mexico. Temperatures will also be a couple degrees cooler across the state. High pressure starts building over the Four Corners this weekend, setting up another monsoon pattern in New Mexico. This will bring daily storm chances mainly in the mountains of northern, western, and central New Mexico. Storms will move south bringing rain chances to the adjacent areas later in the afternoon and evening. Colliding outflow boundaries will bring very isolated storm chances in the Albuquerque Metro Sunday through Tuesday. Temperatures will also be warming thanks to the high pressure. Climbing back above normal by the middle of next week.
