BIG. 515 HERE AND A BIG MOUNTAIN VIEW SHOWS ALBUQUERQUE THIS MORNING STARTING TO BRIGHTEN UP. 553 IS OUR SUNRISE HERE. OUR LESS ACTIVE HERE WITH THE STORMS NOW JUST FAVORING SOUTHERN AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO FOR THE MOST PART FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WE’LL SEE THE HEAT BUILD A LITTLE BIT. IT DOESN’T GET TOO BAD. WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT TRIPLE DIGIT POTENTIAL HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. SOMETHING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO US IN THE FIRST PART, IN THE MIDDLE PART OF JUNE NEXT WEEK, COULD SEE THE STORM CHANCES BACK ON THE INCREASE TODAY. HIGHS 80S TO ABOUT 90 DEGREES. CERTAINLY WARMER THAN YESTERDAY WHERE WE HAD A BIG SHIELD OF CLOUD COVER OVERHEAD TO THE STATE’S MIDSECTION. ISOLATED STORMS POSSIBLE. IT WILL BE AN ACTIVE STATE HERE IN THE SOUTHWEST. SLIGHT CHANCE OF STORMS FOR THE SOUTHEAST AND THE NORTHEAST WILL HAVE SOME SCATTERED STORMS AROUND. HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL PRIMARILY LOCKED UP IN SOUTHERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO. THAT DOES INCLUDE YOU IN RUIDOSO. NOT EXPECTING STRONG WINDS ON THE DAY, NECESSARILY. THE ONLY STRONG WIND GUSTS OUT THERE WOULD BE NEAR THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP NOW IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN AND SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO. WE MAY HAVE TO HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT AND WATCH THOSE STORM CHANCES GRADUALLY WIND DOWN, BUT THAT DOES HAPPEN. LOOKS LIKE BY FRIDAY MORNING AND THEN FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON, KIND OF SEEING SIMILAR WEATHER CONDITIONS TO TODAY. JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF STORMS THROUGH THE STATE’S MIDSECTION AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF ALBUQUERQUE WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A NOTE FROM ABOUT MORIARTY AND AGAIN IN RUIDOSO AND POINTS TO THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST. WE’RE STILL GOING TO BE MONITORING SOME HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL. SATURDAY LOOKS TO BE A DAY HERE WHERE, AT LEAST THROUGH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO ON THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN, WILL SEE AN UPTICK IN. SCATTERED STORM COVERAGE WILL DRY OUT IN THE SOUTHWEST, BUT UP AND DOWN EASTERN NEW MEXICO, WE’RE STILL GOING TO HAVE SOME STORMS FIRING, AND THAT COULD ACT TO FLUSH SOME EAST WINDS BACK TOWARDS ALBUQUERQUE ON SATURDAY EVENING. SO WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH FOR THAT. COULD PUT A LITTLE BIT OF A DAMPER ON THOSE BARBECUE PLANS ON SATURDAY AT DINNERTIME HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. FOUR CORNERS FORECAST. STILL CAN’T BUY YOU A CHANCE AT RAIN ANY TIME SOON. 92 TODAY IN FARMINGTON, SURROUNDED BY UPPER 80S. IT’S ACTUALLY A LITTLE HOTTER GOING FORWARD FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, AND THEN BACK DOWN AROUND 90 FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY. PERHAPS MAYBE LATER TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY. WE MAY ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANCE AT RAIN TO LOOK FORWARD TO. HERE’S SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO. 82 SILVER CITY ABOUT 90. OFF THE MOUNTAINS. EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, ESPECIALLY UP ON THE HIGH TERRAIN. FRIDAY. ANOTHER DAY WITH SCATTERED STORMS. THEN WE’LL SHUT THEM OFF SATURDAY. KEEP IT DRY SUNDAY, MONDAY, AND THEN MAYBE LATER TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. BRINGING RAIN CHANCE BACK HERE, SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. AND WE’VE GOT STORMS FIRING THIS MORNING. THERE WILL BE A MIDDAY LULL AND THEN WE’LL WATCH FOR AFTERNOON AND ESPECIALLY EVENING STORMS. BUT RUIDOSO RAIN CHANCES DO INCLUDE THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AGAIN. 76 RUIDOSO MIDDLE 80S, ROSWELL TO CARLSBAD. NOTE THESE DAYS HERE, WHERE WE HAVE THE SLIGHT CHANCES AT STORMS. THE HEAT DOESN’T GET OUT OF CONTROL. BUT THE SECOND WE DRY IT OUT SUNDAY, MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. THERE WE ARE, SHOOTING RIGHT UP TO 100 DEGREES, BASICALLY ON A DAILY BASIS. NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO WATCHING FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WE DO NEED TO CONTINUE TO MENTION THIS CHANCE OF SCATTERED STORMS BEFORE IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE’RE IN FOR A COUPLE DRY ONES SUNDAY, MONDAY, AND THEN PERHAPS LATER TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY, WE’LL HAVE MORE WET WEATHER FOR NORTH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. ITS HIGHS IN THE 80S TO. IN THE ESPANOLA VALLEY. TEMPERATURE UP NEAR 90 DEGREES. IT’S JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF STORMS TODAY AND TOMORROW. A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE SATURDAY BEFORE WE HAVE THOSE DRIER DAYS SUNDAY, MONDAY, AND THEN MAYBE BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, MORE STORMS FOR ALBUQUERQUE, 90 IS THE EXPECTED HIGH AT THE SUNPORT TODAY. THERE’S A 10% STORM CHANCE FOR FRIDAY AND FOR SATURDAY. WE’LL CONTINUE TO MENTION THESE 10% STORM CHANCES, BUT THAT’S AS HIGH AS THEY GET. SUNDAY. MONDAY DO LOOK DRY AND A LITTLE

There are still some showers and thunderstorms firing across Southeast New Mexico early this morning that should gradually come to an end into the daybreak hour, otherwise it is a pleasant start with dry skies and comfortable temperatures. Later this afternoon we will be down to just a slight chance of storms through the central part of the state with hotter temperatures, but for the southern and eastern part of the state there will probably be another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Across the south we are still seeing the potential for locally heavy rainfall, a threat that does include the Ruidoso area once again.Friday will be somewhat of a rinse and repeat day with scattered storm chances favoring areas south and east of Albuquerque, and Central New Mexico with only a slight chance of storms. Then on Saturday the computer models are suggesting a little uptick in afternoon storm coverage through the central part of the state, and that does put us into a potential scenario where we could see those stronger easterly wind gusts late in the day here in the Albuquerque metro from those storms on the mountains. Looking ahead to Sunday and Monday, a dry push coming in from the west will likely shut down storm chances for the entire state with temperatures jumping up a little on us, some classic pool time weather! Then on Tuesday we may start to see small storm chances moving back in. This could end up being a day with a virga threat that could make the day take a windy and dusty turn for the afternoon and evening. Then on Wednesday we could be in for a better chance of rain.
