Temp & Precip Outlook

Storms will tend to favor the central mountain chain today before expanding more to the southwest mountains and Continental Divide Sunday and more-so into Labor Day.

Near normal temperatures are forecast today in western & central NM with above normal readings in eastern areas. Thunderstorms will be concentrated over the central mountain chain this afternoon where slow-moving storms will be capable of producing heavy downpours.

Similar temperatures are forecast on Sunday, and thunderstorms will expand westward with numerous cells developing over the southwest mountains.

Daily rounds of afternoon storms favoring development over the mountains before moving over surrounding lower elevations continues into next week. High temperatures remain fairly consistent most areas, generally near normal across western NM, and above normal elsewhere.
