Even more showers and thunderstorms will develop Tuesday afternoon, bringing a threat of heavy rain and flash flooding. Rain chances lower into the end of the week as temperatures heat up.
It’s a stormy start to the week across parts of New Mexico. A Flood Watch continues until 10 PM for the HPCC and Ruidoso area burn scars. A few showers will stick around into Tuesday morning for parts of western and central New Mexico, but any rain should stay light. Tuesday will be an even more active afternoon across the state with numerous showers and storms by the afternoon. All storms will be capable of heavy rainfall, dropping as much as 1″ in some places. This will bring a threat of flash flooding, especially over the Ruidoso area burn scars.
The monsoon pattern begins to break down on Wednesday, but there will still be scattered afternoon showers and storms across the state, except for northwest and southwest New Mexico. Flash flooding will still be a possibility. Rain chances will lower every day through Saturday across the state, with the best chances for afternoon storms over the northern and southern mountains. Temperatures will be heating up as drier air moves in. Highs will be climbing into the mid and upper 90s, along with a few triple-digits by the end of the week and into the weekend.
Monsoon moisture starts increasing across the state once again Sunday, bringing a higher chance for showers and thunderstorms.
