Already wet ground conditions, and a good signal for storms to develop and redevelop near or over the Ruidoso burn scars yields a high risk of flash flooding there today.
Afternoon thunderstorms will continue to favor areas along and west of the central mountain chain today and Wednesday. Afternoon storms will develop over the high terrain first before generally moving NW to N. There is a low (5-10%) risk of localized heavy rainfall threatening flash flooding over western NM today.
A strong high pressure system will center over eastern NM during the latter half of the week producing high temperatures from the upper 90s to low to mid 100s for lower elevations of central and eastern NM.
Storms will favor the central mountain chain westward through Wednesday, spreading to portions of eastern NM starting Friday. Hot temperatures will produce moderate-to-major heat risk at lower elevations central and east during the latter half of the week.
