Happy Wednesday!
It will be a hot day ahead with near record to record heat forecasted for many locations throughout New Mexico this afternoon. This morning low temperatures are quite mild, once again, ranging in the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s statewide. Mostly clear to clear skies will eventually be replaced by isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. An uptick of monsoon moisture today will provide better shower and storm chances across New Mexico for the afternoon compared to yesterday. Storms today could drop localized heavy rainfall and bring gusty outflow winds. A few strong to severe storms cannot be ruled out of northeast New Mexico. If stronger storms develop heavy downpours, small hail and damaging winds will be the primary concerns.
