There is a marginal risk of a few storms briefly becoming severe along and just east of the central mountain chain (including Ruidoso and Las Vegas) this afternoon. Cloud-to-ground lightning, severe winds, and hail will be the main hazards from any of these storms.

Gust east winds produce hazardous crosswinds along I-25 this evening from Santa Fe southward thru ABQ to the Upper Tularosa Valley.

High temperatures rise into the upper 80s and 90s over much of New Mexico starting Tuesday. A moderate risk of heat-induced illnesses results for sensitive populations over the lower elevations and central and eastern NM.
