Thunderstorms will drift slowly toward the south and southeast today at speeds from 5 to 15 mph. Storm motions will be slower and more erratic over west central and southwest areas. A few of today's stronger storms will be capable of producing rain at rates near 1"/hr, except for higher rain rates on the eastern plains. This may result in localized, minor flooding, except for a risk of flash flooding below recent burn scars.
Highs in the 80s to 90s, approaching 100F in some areas with afternoon storms forming over the central and western high terrain before drifting over surrounding lower elevations late afternoon and early evening.
A few storms over northeast NM may become strong to severe with hail and damaging wind gusts. Any storms over central and western NM will be capable of producing wind gusts > 45 mph.
Virga and dry thunderstorms across central and western NM each day through the weekend will threaten abrupt and gusty winds. Dry lightning will threaten new fire starts.
Temperatures will remain hot with a low to moderate risk of heat impacts.
Afternoon storms will continue to favor development over the central and western mountains, drifting over surrounding lower elevations by the late afternoon and early evening hours.
