Impact thunderstorms ramping up
Increasing thunderstorms with lightning, hail, wind, & rain
GOVERNMENT IS LOOKING TO SECURE LAND IN THAT AREA. TO ADD TO THE BORDER WALL. HOT TEMPERATURES AND SEVERE STORM THREATS. HERE’S BYRON. YEAH. AND WE’RE LOOKING AT NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO GETTING HIT REALLY HARD WITH THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. WE HAVE THAT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FROM AREAS AROUND RATON, LAS VEGAS, MORIARTY SANTA ROSA INTO CLAYTON, TUCUMCARI, ALL THOSE AREAS IN YELLOW. AND THAT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH TILL 10:00 TONIGHT. THAT JUST MEANS THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR STORMS THAT COULD TURN SEVERE. AND WE HAVE HAD LOTS OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POPPING UP AROUND RATON, ALSO DOWN TOWARD THE LAS VEGAS AREA. LET’S ZOOM INTO THAT STORM AROUND RATON BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM, BUT IT ALSO HAS A FLASH FLOOD WARNING WITH VERY HEAVY RAINFALL FLOODING THE AREA AROUND RATON. SO PLEASE, IF FLOODING THREATENS, GET TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY. THAT’S BEGINNING TO SLOWLY WORK AWAY FROM RATON. THAT VERY HEAVY RAINFALL SOUTH ALONG I-25 RIGHT NOW, BUT ESTIMATED BY RADAR OVER 2.5IN OF RAINFALL OVER A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL THERE. LAS VEGAS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ROLLING THROUGH YOUR AREA THROUGH. TAKE A LOOK AT THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING HAS JUST EXPIRED BUT COULD BE EXTENDED DOWN THROUGH VILLANUEVA AND ALSO DOWN TOWARD CLINES CORNERS. AS THIS MARCHES OFF TO THE EAST TOWARD TREMENTINA. ALSO ANOTHER SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THAT IS TO THE SOUTHWEST OF FORT SUMNER. LOOKS LIKE THE INTENSITY HAS COME DOWN ON THAT, BUT STILL LOTS OF LIGHTNING. WITH THAT, WE HAVE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WORKING FROM LOCAL HILLS INTO LOVINGTON TOWARD HOBBS TATUM AND ALSO EAST OF ROSWELL. RIGHT NOW. THAT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING THERE. SO AGAIN, STAY INSIDE AWAY FROM WINDOWS BACK TO THE WEST, WESTERN PARTS OF THE STATE RIGHT NOW, UNFORTUNATELY, NOT MUCH MOISTURE FROM THESE MORE GUSTY WINDS AND EVEN SOME LIGHTNING AROUND GRANTS. GALLUP AND LITTLE RAINFALL HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. WE’VE SEEN SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS TRYING TO GET GOING, BUT NOT MUCH MOISTURE FOR US TO SEE THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIVE. LOOK OUTSIDE FOR THE CREST CAM. THOSE DARK CLOUDS, SCATTERED GUSTY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PICKING UP SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE. EASTERN NEW MEXICO DRY, WINDY AND HOT AS WE GET INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND, BUT WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THOSE DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES ACROSS WESTERN NEW MEXICO. OF COURSE, THAT FIRE UP AROUND JEMEZ SPRINGS AREA. WE’RE KEEPING AN EYE ON THAT AS WELL. THE WEATHER IN THE AREA OF THAT FIRE, WE ARE LOOKING AT DRY HUMIDITY ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO. WITH THAT HIGHER HUMIDITY OUT TO THE EAST. THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE THAT HEAVIER RAINFALL UP TOWARD THE RATON AREA AND LAS VEGAS RIGHT NOW. TEMPERATURES HAVE COOLED OFF THERE, BUT HEAT ADVISORIES CONTINUE. SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO THIS EVENING. LORDSBURG, DEMING, LAS CRUCES, ALAMOGORDO TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT THIS EVENING WILL BEGIN TO EASE AS WE GET DEEPER INTO THE EVENING. IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT TO THE LAB FOR THE TOPES GAME, THERE IS A CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM IF YOU HEAR THAT THUNDER, OF COURSE, GET INSIDE AND NOTICE WE HEAD IN THE EVENING HOURS. THOSE SCATTERED STORMS IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE STATE ONGOING HERE IN CENTRAL AREAS, NOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF MOISTURE FROM THAT. TOMORROW MORNING WE WAKE UP TO SOME LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTH. AND THEN AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON, THURSDAY IS GOING TO BE A MUCH MORE ACTIVE DAY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE STATE. AND YES, ANY OF THOSE COULD PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS AND EVEN SOME HAIL AND LIGHTNING INTO THE NORTHEAST WILL HAVE THAT CHANCE OF SOME SEVERE WEATHER ON THURSDAY. AND THAT DRY THUNDERSTORM THREAT ACROSS WESTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO FRIDAY, NOT AS WIDE OF COVERAGE OF THAT. I THINK THE BEST CHANCE WOULD BE ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS INTO THE EASTERN PART OF THE STATE. BUT STILL, SOME STORMS OUT THERE COULD HAVE GUSTY WINDS AND YES, SOME BENEFICIAL RAIN, ESPECIALLY FROM CENTRAL AND EASTERN PARTS OF STATE FARM TO THE FOUR CORNERS, DURANGO, CHILE. GALLUP GRANTS SCATTERED STORMS FOR YOU AS WE HEAD THROUGH THURSDAY, DRYING OUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND WITH HOT TEMPERATURES, SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO, SILVER CITY, LORDSBURG, DEMING, T OR C LOW STORM CHANCES FOR YOU. AND YES, IT WILL BE HOT AS WE HEAD TO THE WEEKEND WITH SOME GUSTY WINDS OUT THERE THOUGH. SO. ALAMOGORDO. ROSWELL. CARLSBAD. HOBBS. INCREASING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, AT LEAST. ISOLATED. SCATTERED. THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND THEN HOT 105 BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. RATON, LAS VEGAS, MORIARTY AND SANTA ROSA. YOU’VE HAD THE STORMS OUT THERE TODAY. A CHANCE OF MORE OF THOSE AS WE HEAD INTO THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS, BUT IT DOES DRY OUT FOR THE WEEKEND WITH GUSTY WINDS ON YOUR SUNDAY AND AROUND SANTA FE. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS, TAOS, ESPANOLA. TOMORROW INTO FRIDAY AND THEN DRIER FOR YOUR WEEKEND RIGHT HERE IN THE METRO BERNALILLO, RIO, RANCHO, LAS BLENDS IMPACT WEATHER DAY TOMORROW WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 90S BEFORE THE STORMS GET GOING AND FRIDAY, A

Increasing thunderstorms with lightning, hail, wind, & rain
Impact thunderstorms with lightning, hail, wind, and rain ramp up on Thursday afternoon across New Mexico. A few severe thunderstorms with damaging hail and wind are possible over northeastern New Mexico too. Friday will see another round of thunderstorms, but with less coverage. Drier winds sweep in this weekend with more heat as a trough of low pressure digs into the western US. Temperatures will climb to five to ten degrees hotter than average. Moisture could make a return next week bringing another chance for showers and thunderstorms. Remember…if you hear thunder, take cover inside!
