South/southwest winds pick up across western and central New Mexico Sunday afternoon with gusts around 30 to 50 mph as a stronger storm system moves into the state. This will bring a high fire danger to southern parts of New Mexico while pushing the moisture back to the north and east. More showers and storms will develop Sunday afternoon across northern, central, and eastern New Mexico. Some of these storms will produce heavy rainfall in northern and northeastern New Mexico, which could cause flash flooding. A couple of strong to severe storms may also be possible from the northern mountains to southeast New Mexico. Another round of strong storms and heavy rain will return Monday afternoon across parts of New Mexico, especially in the eastern part of the state. Flash flooding may be possible over some northern mountain burn scar areas. Albuquerque will see a chance for isolated showers and storms both Sunday and Monday.
Rain and thunderstorm chances will continue across New Mexico next Tuesday and Wednesday as a storm will sit and spin across the state. This will also keep temperatures below average all across New Mexico. Some storms will continue to bring a threat of heavy rain and flooding, mainly in eastern New Mexico. Drier and warmer weather starts moving in late next week…
