Winds die down tonight, quieter weather Friday

A cold front has been bringing storms and gusty winds in to part of New Mexico today. Isolated storm chances will continue in parts of the state into next week.

A cold front continues pushing south across New Mexico Thursday night, bringing storms to central and southern parts of the state. These showers and storms will end before sunrise Friday, but a couple spotty showers may be possible in southwest New Mexico tomorrow morning. Earlier today, the front brought heavy rain and even severe weather to the northern mountains. East winds have been surging through the East Canyon into Albuquerque producing wind gusts as high as 60 mph. These winds will also die down by tomorrow morning.

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.
