A departing storm system is brought a line of rain/snow across central and eastern New Mexico this morning. This band of rain continues to dissipate as it pushes north towards I-40. Isolated showers will pop up across the state this afternoon, very hit or miss. Not everyone will see rain, and those that do will be quick and overall light in nature with totals less than 0.1″ this afternoon. Drier air will arrive tonight and into tomorrow.

Most of the day Thursday will remain dry with variably cloudy conditions. Another storm will approach from the northwest, beginning to impact the Four Corners into Thursday afternoon and evening. Low elevation rain and high elevation snow will continue to push east/south overnight and into early Friday morning. Snow levels will lower overnight with the incoming system, getting down to around 6,000′ early Friday. This may allow a dusting of snow over the Albuquerque metro and lower elevations of northern/western New Mexico. A couple inches of snow is possible over the mountains, but no major impacts expected besides slippery roads.
