Virga showers and dry storms will move across portions of western and central NM through late this evening. This activity will produce little to rainfall, gusty and erratic winds and dry lightning strikes. Potential for new fire starts from dry lightning.
Low humidity and gusty winds will impact far western NM today then more of western NM Tuesday. Very dry air and breezy winds will spread across northern and northeast NM Wednesday. Dry lightning strikes from today and Tuesday may create new fire starts. Have an evacuation plan should a fire threaten your area.
Scattered showers and storms will move across central and eastern NM Tuesday. A few of the storms across eastern NM may become severe with large hail and damaging winds possible. Central NM may see more downburst wind gusts with dry lightning strikes and blowing dust.
A hot week is expected across northern and central New Mexico. These temperatures will result in a moderate to locally major heat risk across northwest, central and eastern NM. Isolated to scattered virga showers and dry storms across central NM and wetter storms, that could become strong to severe, across eastern NM Tuesday. Shower and storm chances favoring southern and eastern areas Friday and this weekend.
Temperatures will rise over the next week with minor to moderate heat- related impacts likely. Moderate heat risk affects those who are sensitive to heat, especially those without cooling/hydration, and some health systems and industries.
