Rain and mountain snow chances return Friday afternoon
SOME RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW. BYRON IS GOING TO SHOW YOU WHERE IN YOUR KOAT 7 WEATHER. YEAH, WE GOT A LITTLE TASTE OF IT THIS EVENING WITH SOME SPRINKLES. LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS AROUND THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO AREA. AND THAT WAS AFTER OUR VERY WARM AFTERNOON, 68 DEGREES, A PAIR OF THEM THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. THAT 60 DEGREES, TWO SHY OF THE RECORD HIGH OF 70 DEGREES AND A GOOD, WHAT, 14 DEGREES ABOVE THE AVERAGE OF 54 DEGREES. SO YEAH, THAT’S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. AND YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AVERAGED WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF FEBRUARY. IF WE ENDED THE MONTH, NOW WOULD BE THE SIXTH WARMEST FEBRUARY ON RECORD LIVE. LOOK OUTSIDE. WE’RE LOOKING AT JUST SOME CLOUDS OUT THERE. THOSE SHOWERS ARE SKIRTING OUT. SO RECORD CHALLENGING SPRING LIKE WARMTH TOMORROW. RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW CHANCES THEY’RE GOING UP AS WE GET INTO FRIDAY. AND I THINK WE’RE GOING TO SEE SOME WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS. SO WE DO HAVE AN IMPACT WEATHER DAY ON FRIDAY. SO KOAT 7 THE RADAR LOOP OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. YOU SEE THOSE LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS THAT SWEPT QUICKLY ACROSS THE METRO AREA. AND IF YOU GOT SOMETHING THAT’S GOOD BECAUSE MANY AREAS MISSED OUT. BUT WE SAW SOME OF THAT ACROSS NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO EARLIER TODAY. IN FACT, AROUND GALLUP AREA, SOME STRIKES OF LIGHTNING EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON AROUND 4:00 OR SO. IT’S ALL IN ASSOCIATION WITH THESE STORM SYSTEMS THAT ARE OFF THE COAST OF CALIFORNIA THAT ARE MERGING. AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW AND TOMORROW NIGHT. I THINK AS WE GO INTO THURSDAY, WE’LL SEE A GOOD CHANCE OF THESE STORM SYSTEMS PUMPING A LOT OF MOISTURE INTO THE STATE. BY FRIDAY, THAT MOISTURE WILL CONVERGE OVER THE STATE AND BE WRUNG OUT BY THAT STORM SYSTEM, BRINGING A GOOD CHANCE OF SOME WIDESPREAD RAIN AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW SHOWERS FOR TOMORROW. WE’RE LOOKING AT THOSE TEMPERATURES THAT WILL START OFF IN THE 40S FOR ALBUQUERQUE AND WILL WARM INTO THE 60S ONCE AGAIN. IN FACT, IF WE HIT THAT 68 DEGREES TOMORROW AFTERNOON HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE, THAT WOULD BE TWO DEGREES SHY OF THE RECORD HIGH FOR TOMORROW. SO REALLY WARMING UP OUT THERE, WE ARE LOOKING AT LOTS OF CLOUDS, BUT MAINLY HIGH CLOUDS. SO SOME FILTERED SUNSHINE ACROSS THE STATE WITH THAT RECORD CHALLENGING WARMTH FRIDAY, THAT MOISTURE SWEEPS IN. I THINK BY LUNCHTIME HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE, WE’LL SEE MOST OF THOSE SHOWERS OFF TO THE SOUTH AND WEST. BUT AS WE GO INTO THE MID AFTERNOON HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE ON FRIDAY, WE’LL SEE THAT CHANCE OF SHOWERS FILLING IN FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO AREA AND WORK IT UP INTO THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE STATE AS WELL, WITH GOOD CHANCE OF THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS AREAS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. AND SOME OF THOSE COULD TRY TO TURN SEVERE, ESPECIALLY THE FARTHER SOUTHEAST YOU GO OUT TOWARD HOBBS AND LEE COUNTY. WE’LL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THAT. SOME DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL POSSIBLE IF THOSE STORMS DO TURN SEVERE. NOW FOR VALENTINE’S DAY ON SATURDAY, I THINK THAT STORM SYSTEM BEGINS TO PULL AWAY ON THE BACKSIDE OF IT. WE’LL HAVE SOME BREEZY CONDITIONS, BUT DRYING CONDITIONS ACROSS THE STATE FOR THOSE DINNERS ON VALENTINE’S DAY AS WELL. BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT A GOOD CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD RAIN. MUCH NEEDED MOISTURE. THAT’S SOME GOOD NEWS. THE SNOW ELEVATIONS WILL BE HIGH, SO I THINK THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING ACCUMULATING SNOW WOULD BE ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NEW MEXICO INTO SOUTHERN COLORADO. AND YEAH, THE SKI AREAS COULD EASILY PICK UP A FEW INCHES OF SNOWFALL AS WE GO FROM FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY. FARM TO THE FOUR CORNERS, DURANGO, CHILE. GALLUP GRANTS. YOU GOT CLOUDS TOMORROW, SOME WARM TEMPERATURES AND THEN THAT GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR FRIDAY. WE DRY IT OUT FOR VALENTINE’S DAY INTO SUNDAY. SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO. ALSO LOOKING AT SOME CLOUDS TOMORROW WITH MILD TEMPERATURES. AND THEN WE COOL IT OFF WITH THAT GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN WORKING IN SILVER CITY, LORDSBURG, DEMING, T OR C COULD BE SOME THUNDER AND LIGHTNING TOO. WITH US. ALAMOGORDO, ROSWELL, CARLSBAD. HOBBS. ENJOY TOMORROW. IT’S GOING TO BE NICE IN THE 70S FOR ROSWELL. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY AND WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH SOME OF THOSE IF THEY TURN STRONG TO SEVERE. KEEP TUNED HERE FOR UPDATES. GET NOTIFIED WITH YOUR KOAT APP. IT DOES DRY OUT FOR VALENTINE’S DAY WEEKEND AND INTO THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE STATE. SAME DEAL. SOME BREEZES OUT THERE FOR TOMORROW, BUT IT WILL BE WARM. THOSE SHOWERS WORKING LATE FRIDAY. FRIDAY NIGHT COULD MIX WITH SOME SNOW IN THE LAS VEGAS AREA FOR EARLY ON SATURDAY MORNING, BEFORE ROUNDING OUT ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON, AND FOR THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NEW MEXICO. QUIET FOR TOMORROW. BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT CHANCE OF SHOWERS. SANTA FE IN THE AFTERNOON ON FRIDAY AND COULD MIX WITH SOME SNOW FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY, WITH MOUNTAINS PICKING UP A FEW INCHES OF SNOWFALL. METRO AREA. IT’S GOING TO BE A NICE ONE TOMORROW. ANOTHER WARM ONE. WE WERE 68 TODAY. WE’LL DO IT AGAIN FOR TOMORROW. HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. OUR RECORD IS 70 DEGREES. THEN WE DROP THAT TEMPERATURE BRIEFLY FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY WITH THAT CHANCE OF SHOWERS. SO IF YOU HAVE PLANS TO BE OUTSIDE FRIDAY, JUST, YOU KNOW, HAVE THE UMBRELL
