NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Rain-free conditions with relatively chilly air is the big weather story this morning, and while some mountains thunderstorms will fire off this afternoon, most across the region will be very sunny with even higher afternoon temperatures than yesterday. Some storms in northwestern areas lingered around very early this morning, but they have since dissipated, leaving only behind some trails of clouds around the Four Corners with a high pressure system aloft which will only drift slowly to the southeast ahead as a tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico drifts northeastward while strengthening. So, stubbornly stagnant weather this morning in New Mexico with dry air, allow as light winds, have allowed for temperatures to drop around the freezing mark in the high elevations, while most other areas are starting off in the 40’s, 50’s, and lower 60’s.
