Scattered Storms Return Midweek with Mild Temps, Low Severe Weather Risk

Tuesday will start with a few showers and storms in the morning, but the day will be mostly dry, especially in the eastern parts. The best chance of rain will be in central New Mexico, but by the afternoon, it could rain in up to 20% of the rest of the state.

The hottest parts of the day will be between the mid-80s and mid-90s. The warmest places will be east of the I-27/Highway 87 area. At 15–20 MPH, the winds will come from the southeast.

The nighttime lows are expected to range from the mid-60s to the mid-70s on Tuesday night, with mostly dry conditions.

On Wednesday and Thursday, the region is expected to experience more rain and storms, particularly in the western parts. There will probably not be a lot of bad weather, but some storms may bring strong winds or large hail. Some areas may receive 1 to 3 inches of rain, which could lead to flooding, particularly in low-lying regions.

Patchy fog can occur in the morning, so drivers should exercise extra caution early in the day. With mostly cloudy skies, daytime highs will stay in the mid-80s to mid-90s.

The area is expected to become slightly drier over the weekend, with partly cloudy skies and highs returning to the upper 90s, and even reaching close to 100°F in some locations. The lows will stay in the 60s and 70s.

The area is likely to receive another round of monsoonal moisture on Sunday or Monday, which will increase the likelihood of rain and make the weather slightly cooler. This trend may alleviate people's concerns about drought in the next few weeks.
