Tonight 6/9-
Overnight lows will be mild for early June. Smoke from southern Arizona wildfires will continue to stream in.
Otherwise, the main story will be the heat. A Heat Advisory has been issued for Chaves County Thursday and Friday for temperatures exceeding 105 degrees Fahrenheit. A backdoor cold front will help drop temperatures across the east through next week, while western and central areas continue to soar. Know the signs of heat-related illness!

During hot and humid weather, your body's ability to cool itself is challenged. When your body heats too rapidly to cool itself properly, or when too much fluid or salt is lost through dehydration or sweating, you may experience a heat-related illness. Learn the symptoms of excessive heat exposure and the appropriate responses. weather.gov/safety/heat-illness

Temperatures in the 90s across central New Mexico and in the 100s across eastern areas will linger through the end of the week, with Wednesday and Thursday likely being the warmest days. Precipitation chances return for the weekend and possibly through early next week.

A few storms will persist across far northeast and east central NM this evening, then all eyes (and noses) will be on smoke from the Arizona wildfires shifting into New Mexico. Expect smoky or hazy skies across much of western and central New Mexico Tuesday morning. This may be the rule through much of the week. Otherwise, it will be hot, hot, hot! Temperatures in the 90s and 100s will be common this week!

Heat is the leading cause of weather-related deaths most years. You are generally safe indoors with the AC on, while staying hydrated. If you can’t easily get indoors, stay in the shade. Stay #WeatherReady and learn more about heat safety: weather.gov/safety/heat

Today, afternoon thunderstorms will develop in northeast and east-central New Mexico during the afternoon. Gusty winds to 60 mph will be the main weather hazard. Elsewhere, mostly sunny sky and warm to hot afternoon high temperatures are forecast.
Sunday evening, June 6th
An Air Quality Alert has been issued for portions of southwestern and central New Mexico for late tonight into Monday morning.
Wildfires in southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico have produced large amounts of smoke over the past several hours, and this smoke is expected to expand into portions of central New Mexico late tonight and Monday morning.
Anyone living in these areas should be prepared for reduced air quality late tonight throughout the morning hours Monday. Since these impacts are expected to occur overnight, taking precautions such as closing windows before bedtime and turning off evaporative (swamp) coolers can protect residents with pre-existing respiratory conditions. Those with conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer, and heart disease will be especially vulnerable to impacts from poor air quality, as will adults over age 65, young children, and pregnant women if smoke concentrations become unhealthy.
Remember, your eyes are your best tools to determine if it is safe
to be outside. Use the 5-3-1 Method available at
https://nmtracking.org/environment/air/FireAndSmoke.html.
If visibility is:
Under 5 miles, the air quality is unhealthy for young children,
adults over age 65, pregnant women, and people with heart
and/or lung disease, asthma or other respiratory illness.
Outdoor activity should be minimized.
Around 3 miles, young children, adults over age 65, pregnant women, and people with heart and/or lung disease, asthma or other respiratory illness should avoid all outdoor activities.
Around 1 mile, the air quality is unhealthy for everyone. People
should remain indoors and avoid all outdoor activities including
running errands. Unless an evacuation has been issued, stay inside
your home, indoor workplace, or in a safe shelter.

The forecast continues to get hotter and drier for next week. Smoke from fires in AZ and southwest NM will work its way into west-central NM tonight, maybe even reaching ABQ by Monday morning. #NMwx #NMFire
Showers/storms taper off this evening, with one more round of scattered storms Sunday afternoon. A few storms could become strong to severe over east-central NM Sunday afternoon. Dry and hot weather takes hold for the upcoming work week! #NMwx
Friday night, June 4th 8pm MDT:
Showers and thunderstorms will come to an end before midnight tonight. Rain chances will still linger in some parts of New Mexico this weekend, but afterwards a warmer and drier pattern is expected.
Scattered shower and storm activity over central and western NM will steadily taper off through the evening, clearing overnight. Another round of isolated-scattered showers storms rolling south off the high terrain is expected again Friday afternoon.
Storms will continue to impact eastern NM through late tonight while quieter weather conditions are expected across the west. The active pattern continues over the next several days with daily rounds of showers and thunderstorms expected. A few strong to severe storms can't be ruled out, but locally heavy rainfall from slow-moving storms may be the bigger concern. Drier conditions look to arrive early next week as an area of high pressure causes temperatures to soar.
Fog has developed this morning across eastern NM which is reducing visibility down to 1/4 mile in some locations such as Clines Corners and Raton. Use caution if you're traveling in the east this morning! Fog will clear by late morning. Otherwise, another round of showers and thunderstorms will form over the high terrain by early this afternoon and move southeast onto the plains. Some of these storms may turn strong to severe with large hail and damaging winds. The active pattern continues as daily rounds of thunderstorms will be expected through at least the next 7 days.
Very heavy rain fell in southern Lincoln and western Chaves counties yesterday. Radar estimated more than 5 inches of rain fell in that area! Here's a look at the Rio Ruidoso (east of Ruidoso, running east toward Hondo and Roswell.

Western areas of New Mexico will remain warm and very dry today and tomorrow.
Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible again over the eastern half of New Mexico on Sunday with storms increasing and expanding a bit westward into the Memorial Day holiday.

March Madness has begun! Nope, we're not talking about basketball. We're talking about CoCoRaHS. Last year, NM recruited 114 new observers to win the annual recruitment event in the per capita for the first time ever! Can we do it again? Join today at cocorahs.org!
Don't think you could be so careless? Distraction doesn't just happen while inside a moving car. Make sure to create reminders, like putting your bag or purse in the backseat or even one shoe. The temperature inside a vehicle can quickly rise to deadly levels in the hot New Mexico sun. #HeatSafety #CheckForBaby @NHTSAgov
Still confused as to what CoCoRaHS is or why you should join? Maybe this video will help. It's a great week to become an observer as more precipitation is in the forecast! https://go.usa.gov/xEFNf
It's March Madness! No, not basketball tournaments! We're referring to the CoCoRaHS March Madness recruitment campaign of course!
Smoke in the west, low stratus clouds in the northeast...here's what satellite imagery is currently seeing across New Mexico:
Sadly, twenty-three children were accidentally left inside hot vehicles and died in 2017. Don't think you could be so careless? Distractions don't just happen while inside a moving car. Twenty-three families will tell you it can happen to you. There are actions you can take to minimize the risk. -Set a reminder on your phone. -Create a visual reminder in your vehicle (place one shoe in backseat when child is with you). -Communicate regularly on whereabouts with spouse/childcare provider. http://noheatstroke.org/Heatstroke_Trends.pdf #heatsafety
Radar 5/2 3:40PM MDT Showers and thunderstorms will continue to favor western New Mexico through the early evening. Brief downpours and small hail will be possible. #nmwx
Today there are only a few high cirrus clouds streaming over (mostly northeastern) New Mexico. Let's rewind to last Wednesday and watch some low stratus clouds and snow showers form and dissipate over the Sandia mountains as an area of low pressure moved over the state!
Clouds are keeping it cool in central New Mexico...it's only 75 degrees as of 2pm in Albuquerque!
A Flash Flood Watch is in effect until 5am MDT Thursday for all of northeast New Mexico, including Angel Fire, Raton, Des Moines, Clayton, Las Vegas, Clines Corners, Santa Rosa, and Tucumcari. Be alert to ponding of water on roads and in low-lying areas. Fast and abrupt flows could also develop in normally dry creeks, arroyos, low water crossings, and river beds. Heed any warnings that might be issued later! #nmwx
