Temperatures will be close to normal in western New Mexico with eastern areas climbing 5 to 10 degrees above. Showers and thunderstorms will be concentrated in southwestern to west central New Mexico this afternoon with storms also impacting the central mountain chain and northeastern plains before filling in between this evening.
Temperatures will be above normal by 4 to 12 degrees on Wednesday. Precipitation coverage also peaks on Wednesday. Northwest NM is most likely to miss out on any precipitation. Gusty winds and small hail may accompany storms across eastern NM and locally heavy rainfall may lead to flash flooding where slow moving storms persist.
Heat Danger Beyond Heatwaves: most heat-related deaths occur outside of heat waves. Stay Weather-Ready! Avoid overexertion and stay hydrated. Heat stroke can occur even during moderate heat. Never leave people or pets in a vehicle. Hot car deaths occur year-round. Assist those who are at higher risk for heat-related illness, including children, pregnant people, and other adults.
Dry air will wrap into New Mexico from the northwest on Thursday and Friday. This will lead to fewer showers and thunderstorms along with hotter temperatures.
