Much higher storm chances today with catastrophic flooding in some areas

Weekend dries out, temperatures rise much hotter

IMPACT WEATHER DAY FOR MUCH OF THE STATE. AND THAT IS INCLUDING HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. MUCH HIGHER RAIN CHANCES TODAY THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AROUND THAT 3:00 HOUR AT LEAST UNTIL 11:00 TONIGHT, CATASTROPHIC FLOODING IN SOME AREAS, ESPECIALLY NEAR THOSE BURN SCARS, VERY HIGH RISK WEEKEND IS GOING TO DRY OUT. IT’S GOING TO BE MUCH HOTTER. ALL BECAUSE OF THIS DRIER AIR OVER ARIZONA RIGHT NOW. THAT’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO PUSH OFF TOWARDS THE EAST INTO OUR STATE. AND THAT IS GOING TO CUT DOWN THOSE RAIN CHANCES. WE ALSO HAVE SOME RIDGING. IT’S GOING TO BUMP UP THOSE TEMPERATURES AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. BUT YOU CAN SEE RIGHT NOW MONSOON MOISTURE OVER THE STATE PUSHING IN FROM THE SOUTH. THAT IS GOING TO COME INTO PLAY AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON. SO YOU CAN SEE AS EARLY AS THE LUNCH HOUR, WE ARE GOING TO START TO SEE SOME REALLY STRONG THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT IS GOING TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE EARLY EVENING. AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, IT WILL START TO DRY OUT. FRIDAY, MUCH LOWER RAIN CHANCES, BUT STILL GOING TO BE STORMY OUT THERE FOR SOME PARTS OF THE STATE. LOOKS LIKE IT REALLY FAVORS SOUTH CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE. SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS AND UP TOWARDS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS, BUT MOST AREAS WILL BE DRY. ALBUQUERQUE FOR SURE WILL GET A POP UP SHOWER OR TWO, BUT OVERALL, IT’S GOING TO BE OUR DRIEST DAY FOR THE WORKWEEK. IT HAS BEEN REALLY WET OUT THERE, BUT VERY HIGH FOR BURN SCAR AND FLOODING THREAT FOR HERMITS PEAK, CALF CANYON, RUIDOSO, SEVEN SPRINGS AND TROUT FIRES. MODERATE FOR SEVEN SPRINGS AND TROUT AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY, BUT STILL HIGH CHANCES FOR RUIDOSO AND THE HERMITS PEAK. CALF CANYON BURN SCARS BECAUSE STILL REALLY HIGH RAIN CHANCES. WE’RE GOING TO STILL BE IN IMPACT MODE, AT LEAST FOR LAS VEGAS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND. BUT FAST FORWARD INTO FRIDAY, YOU CAN STILL SEE REALLY STORMY CHANCES OUT THERE FOR SOME AREAS. LIKE I SAID, SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE EVEN PROBABLY GOING TO GET SOME RAIN UP TOWARDS NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. IT’S BEEN REALLY DRY THERE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU COULD GET SOME RAIN. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING, BUT YOU CAN SEE WE REALLY REMAIN DRY. TRIES TO PUSH INTO OUR AREA. WE’LL SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. THERE’S STILL ENOUGH MOISTURE THAT WE COULD SEE THAT, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE WARMER AND DRIER AS WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY WITH A POP UP SHOWER OR TWO IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE STATE. BUT OVERALL, THOSE TEMPERATURES ARE REALLY GOING TO BE THE BIG STORY AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. EXTREME HEAT IS WHAT WE’RE TRACKING FOR NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE, 80S AND 90S FOR THOSE HIGHS, FARMINGTON COULD GET A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AFTERNOON, BUT OVERALL PRETTY DRY OUT THERE. TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 90S BY SUNDAY. STAYING THAT WAY THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE STATE, 80S AND 90S OUT THERE. SILVER CITY IMPACT MODE FOR TODAY, ESPECIALLY WITH BURN SCAR FLOODING. WE’RE GOING TO KEEP THAT THREAT MODERATE FOR FRIDAY. STILL ISOLATED STORM CHANCES. THEN YOU’RE RIGHT BACK UP INTO THE UPPER 80S BY SATURDAY, REACHING THE 90S BY SUNDAY FOR SOUTHWEST REGION, SOUTHEASTERN REGION, WE ARE SEEING 80S AND 90S OUT THERE, BUT COOLER IN THE MOUNTAINS, 76 FOR THAT HIGH TODAY, WITH THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. ROSWELL THOUGH WE COULD GET ISOLATED. THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY DRY OUT THERE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND LOOK AT THAT ON SUNDAY. PUSHING 105. SO WE ARE GOING TO GO IMPACT MODE FOR SUNDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO MONDAY. WE GOT TO CHANGE THAT THERE. BUT IMPACT MODE FOR SUNDAY FOR SURE BECAUSE OF THAT 105 DEGREES NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE, 80S AND 70S OUT THERE FOR THOSE HIGHS. LAS VEGAS, WE ARE KEEPING IMPACT MODE, AT LEAST THROUGH FRIDAY BECAUSE OF THE BURN SCAR FLOODING. REALLY GOTTEN SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS OUT THERE. STILL RAIN CHANCES ON SATURDAY, BUT DRYING OUT BY SUNDAY. BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE CARRYING THROUGH FOR MONDAY AND REACHING THE 90S BY NEXT WEEK. NORTH CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE. WE’RE LOOKING AT UPPER 70S AND INTO THE 80S FOR THOSE HIGHS. SANTA FE IMPACT MODE THROUGH TODAY. HIGH RAIN CHANCES FRIDAY, BUT THEN WE CUT THOSE RAIN CHANCES DOWN AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, AND WE WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 80S, REACHING THE 90S BY NEXT WEEK FOR THE METRO, 80S AND 90S OUT THERE. NOT GETTING OUT OF THE 80S FOR ALBUQUERQUE, WE’RE GOING TO BE BELOW AVERAGE FOR OUR HIGHS TODAY. IMPACT MODE BY THAT 3:00 HOUR, SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OUT THERE, BUT LOWER RAIN CHANCES BY FRIDAY. THEN WE ARE DRYING OUT BY THE WEEKEND AND YOU CAN SEE REALLY HOT TEMPERATURES, AT LEAST FOR THE FIRST HALF OF

Weekend dries out, temperatures rise much hotter
