WITH A FEW STORMS AROUND. LET’S GET RIGHT TO BYRON. YEAH. AND SOME OF THE STORMS PRODUCING SOME BIG TIME HAIL. CHECK THIS OUT. THIS IS FROM LEXI GONZALEZ. I BELIEVE THIS IS FROM RIBERA IN NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO BETWEEN LAS VEGAS AND SANTA FE, ALONG I-25. AND LOOK AT THAT HAIL COMPARING TO THE EGG RIGHT THERE. HARD TO TELL HOW BIG THAT EGG IS. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT IT, IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S PROBABLY HALF DOLLAR TO PERHAPS EVEN PING PONG BALL SIZE HAIL. WE DO HAVE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING CONTINUING FOR AREAS AROUND PASTA AND VAUGHAN. THIS IS A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS, THIS ONE ALONG I-40 HERE FROM BETWEEN CLINES CORNERS AND SANTA ROSA. THIS IS THE SAME CLUSTER THAT BROUGHT THAT DAMAGING HAIL TO AREAS AROUND RIBERA. YOU SEE UP THERE NORTH OF THE NUEVA AREA, HEADING OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST. SO IF YOU’RE IN SANTA ROSA, YOU WANT TO STAY INSIDE, AWAY FROM WINDOWS. IF YOU’RE IN THE SAME DEAL, THESE STORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF SOME VERY LARGE DAMAGING HAIL. THIS IS THE HAIL CORE WHERE YOU SEE THAT PURPLE SHADING, THE BRIGHTER SHADES OF PURPLE HEADING RIGHT TOWARD HIGHWAY 84 AND I-40 THERE, AND ALSO JUST TO THE NORTH OF VAUGHAN AND WEST OF PISTOIA. RIGHT NOW, SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. WE HAD SOME HEAVY RAIN EARLIER THAT HAS SINCE LET UP. WE SHOWED YOU THAT VIDEO IN THE EARLY PART OF THE NEWSCAST. RAINFALL ESTIMATED BY RADAR OVER AN INCH FOR THOSE OVER TWO INCHES NORTHWEST OF THE SACRAMENTO AREA IN THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. ALBUQUERQUE. PRETTY QUIET. THERE’S AN OUTSIDE CHANCE WE COULD HAVE A SPOT. GUSTY, MAINLY DRY SHOWERS STORM THIS EVENING, BUT YOU SEE PRETTY QUIET OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. HOT FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND AHEAD FOR ALL PARTS OF NEW MEXICO WITH LIMITED STORM CHANCES FAVORING EASTERN AREAS OF THE STATE. AND THEN MONSOON MOISTURE COULD RETURN LATE NEXT WEEK. WE’LL HOPE FOR THAT. BUT YOU DO SEE THE STORMS ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON. DRIVE BACK TO THE WEST, WHERE WE HAVE THAT DRY AIR IN PLAY ACROSS WESTERN NEW MEXICO. AND YEAH, IT’S HEATING UP. 97 ALBUQUERQUE, SOCORRO 95 IN FARMINGTON, 90 IN SANTA FE, 97 IN LORDSBURG, BUT RAIN COOLED 77. RUIDOSO AND LOW 80S FROM LAS VEGAS INTO AREAS AROUND SANTA ROSA. SO HEAT DOME. YEAH, IT’S LOCKED IN THE SOUTHWEST. AND IT DOES LOOK LIKE THIS THING IS GOING TO EXPAND AS WE GET INTO THE END OF FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. HOTTEST DAY COULD BE MONDAY, TUESDAY NEXT WEEK ACROSS NEW MEXICO. EVEN SUNDAY IS GOING TO BE A HOT ONE. AND THEN THIS DOES LOOK LIKE IT WILL WEAKEN AND BACK OFF FOR LATE NEXT WEEK. THAT COULD ALLOW FOR ALLOW FOR A BETTER CHANCE OF SOME MONSOON MOISTURE AND STORMS HEADING OUT THIS EVENING. WE’VE GOT THE TOPES GAME. SASHA TALKED ABOUT IT. IT’S A CELEBRATION OF JUNETEENTH. AND ALSO THEY’RE GIVING OUT SOME FREE WATER BOTTLES THIS EVENING. TEMPERATURES WILL BE HOT. YOU’LL WANT THAT WATER FOR SURE. NOTICE AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT, THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WIND DOWN ACROSS ALL PARTS OF NEW MEXICO. A QUIET START TO YOUR SATURDAY, AND THEN WE’LL SEE THOSE STORMS BEGIN TO FIRE ACROSS NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO. SOME OF THOSE COULD TRY TO TURN SEVERE LATER IN THE DAY AS WELL. SO IF YOU’RE UP AROUND CLAYTON RATON AND TUCUMCARI, DEFINITELY MAKE SURE YOU GET NOTIFIED WITH YOUR KOAT APP. GUSTY WINDS WILL LEAD TO A HIGHER FIRE THREAT ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION AS WELL. THE STRONGEST WINDS ACROSS NORTHERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO. THEN SUNDAY, FATHER’S DAY, THE START OF SUMMER TOO. IT’S GOING TO BE HOT 106 IN ROSWELL ON FATHER’S DAY. LOOKING AT HOT WEATHER FOR YOU. FARMINGTON. DURANGO, CHILE. GALLUP GRANTS ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION WITH SUNSHINE THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS TAKE SO EASY OUT THERE. DRINK LOTS OF WATER. DON’T LEAVE THE PETS OR KIDS IN THE CARS. ONE OF THE THREE C 94 IN SILVER CITY 90 FOR THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS FOR SILVER CITY IN THE SOUTHEAST THOUGH, SO EIGHT DEGREES. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A STORM AND ROSWELL. LOOK AT THAT 106 IMPACT WEATHER FOR FATHER’S DAY. SO MAYBE TAKE THAT INSIDE TO SOME AIR CONDITIONED AIR. NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO A CHANCE FOR A FEW STORMS, ESPECIALLY THE FARTHER NORTH AND EAST YOU GO. STAYING DRY, LIKELY FOR THE LAS VEGAS AREA. AND HOT TEMPERATURES. WE’LL SEE THAT BETTER STORM CHANCE FOR MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK. NORTHERN MOUNTAINS LOOK DRY. 89 TAOS 87 ESPANOLA SANTA FE AT 90 DEGREES. HANG IN THERE FOR FATHER’S DAY RAIN CHANCES. TRY TO RETURN LATE NEXT WEEK. AND RIGHT HERE IN THE METRO BERNALILLO, RIO, RANCHO, LOS LUNAS AND BLINN. HOT TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. FATHER’S DAY TAKE IT SL
High pressure/heat-dome hangs around the Southwest US through Father’s Day weekend and expands into New Mexico early next week. Hot temperatures with highs reaching the triple digits likely. Remember to stay hydrated and never leave pets or kids in vehicles. Rain chances will be limited at best and favor the higher terrain and eastern New Mexico. The heat-dome could weaken and retreat later next week allowing for some heat-relief and better rain chances.
