Scattered to numerous afternoon storms will continue to favor development over the mountains, but will be slower to move off over surrounding lower elevations. Locally heavy rainfall will threaten flash flooding over low-lying and flood prone areas, including recent burn scars. Though most areas will pick up less than one half inch of rainfall, isolated areas could receive over an inch.
Temperatures will remain hot across eastern NM this weekend with a few locations topping the century mark. Remember to stay hydrated, limit strenuous time outdoors in the afternoon, use your air conditioner and wear light-weight, light-colored clothing. Heat illness may occur to those without adequate cooling or hydration.
Daily rounds of afternoon storms favoring development over the mountains before moving over surrounding lower elevations continues into next week. High temperatures remain fairly consistent most areas, generally near normal across western NM, and above normal elsewhere.
