Fewer storms with hotter temps in Albuquerque

THREAT OF SOME SEVERE STORMS IN THE FAR SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE STATE. BUT ANY PART OF THE STATE COULD SEE THAT. BUT BOY, LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS FROM THE CREST CAM. AND YOU DO SEE THAT DUST THAT IS BLOWING ACROSS THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO AREA. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. LOOK THERE. SO THIS MONSOON PATTERN IS GOING TO BE BREAKING UP AS WE HEAD INTO THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. AND THAT MEANS DRIER AND WARMER CONDITIONS WILL BE DEVELOPING WITH THOSE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NEW MEXICO KIND OF DIMINISHING TEMPERATURES 84 IN ALBUQUERQUE, LOOKING AT 79 IN ROSWELL AND 81 IN SANTA FE. THOSE GUSTY WINDS, ESPECIALLY WHERE WE HAVE THOSE THUNDERSTORMS AROUND, GO TO 31 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS RIGHT NOW AND THE HUMIDITY VERY LOW BACK TO THE WEST. THAT’S WHY WE’RE NOT SEEING ANY STORMS IN THE FOUR CORNERS REGION RIGHT NOW. PLANNER FOR THIS EVENING, ALBUQUERQUE. WE GO FROM THE UPPER 70S DOWN TO THE LOW 60S AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ONCE THAT DUST SETTLES THIS EVENING, THINGS SHOULD LOOK A LOT BETTER HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. YOU SEE, AS WE GO DEEPER INTO THE EVENING AND TOWARD THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, THOSE STORMS WILL FOCUS OVER SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO. AND I THINK AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW, WE’RE STILL GOING TO SEE SOME STORMS AROUND. IT’S JUST NOT GOING TO BE AS WIDESPREAD ACROSS NEW MEXICO. WITH THOSE STORMS FAVORING THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND ALSO SOUTHERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO, WHERE WE HAVE THAT HIGHER FLOOD THREAT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART STATE FRIDAY. STILL, THAT STORM CHANCE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN OFF TO THE EAST, BUT DRIER BACK TO THE WEST. AND THAT RAINFALL FORECAST AGAIN FAVORING THE EAST AND SOUTHERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO, FARMING IN THE FOUR CORNERS, DURANGO, CHILE. GALLUP GRANTS GOT A DRY STRETCH NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. UNFORTUNATELY, NO GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN WITH TEMPERATURES HANGING RIGHT AROUND 90 DEGREES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO SCATTERED STORMS AROUND NOW IN SILVER CITY, LORDSBURG AND DEMING COULD SEE THAT THIS EVENING AGAIN TOMORROW. AND THEN YOU DRY IT OUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. RUIDOSO STILL THAT CHANCE. A FEW STORMS AROUND, BUT I THINK BETTER CHANCES AS WE GET INTO SATURDAY IN SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. AND THEN WE’LL DRY OUT AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK. LOOK AT THAT 100 ON MONDAY IN ROSWELL, RATON, LAS VEGAS, MORIARTY AND SANTA ROSA OFF AND ON. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SATURDAY. DRIER SUNDAY. MONDAY. WE’LL SEE IF WE CAN PICK IT BACK UP WITH THAT RAIN AS WE GET INTO TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. NORTHERN MOUNTAINS GOING TO SEE A FEW STORMS AROUND TAOS, ESPANOLA, LOS ALAMOS AND ALSO THE RED RIVER AREA. AND I THINK SANTA FE WILL SEE A BETTER SHOT AT SOME STORMS AROUND SATURDAY, BRIEFLY, BEFORE IT DRIES OUT AGAIN FOR SUNDAY RIGHT HERE IN THE METRO BERNALILLO, RIO RANCHO, SOME WHEN YOU GET THAT BLOWING DUST RIGHT NOW. BUT I DO THINK THAT TOMORROW A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A STORM LIKELY WOULD HAVE SOME BLOWING DUST WITH THAT AS WELL. BUT — HOT. LOOK AT THOSE LOW 90S RIGHT AFTER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, BUT D
