Drier and colder air will allow tonight's low temperatures to fall near freezing for some spots across western and northern NM. A Freeze Warning has been issued for Sunday morning for the Upper Rio Grande Valley for areas near and north of Taos.
Rain chances increase next week, first near and east of the central mountain chain Monday, then spreading to much of the state Tuesday and Wednesday. Gusty winds expected and locally heavy rainfall possible with any passing storm.
Thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon will have a marginal (5-15% chance) of producing locally heavy rainfall that threatens flash flooding. This will mainly focus through central NM along the central mountain chain and the Rio Grande Valley from ABQ southward.
