New Mexico
Warmer, drier, windier week ahead for New Mexico
These four pals want to make your home their home. Here’s what to know about them.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Say hello to Lucy, Bobo, Baxter and Dion. They’re up for adoption, with Lucy and Bobo up for adoption from Pitties and Kitties of New Mexico.
“Bobo came from the city shelter. He was very, very stressed out. So we took him in and he’s doing pretty great,” Pitties and Kitties’ Holly Dusthimer said. “Lucy is also from the city shelter. We’ve had her since about April. She is painfully shy but once you get to know her, she’s absolutely the sweetest girl. She is dog-friendly, she’s can be a little difficult to introduce other dogs but when she knows them she absolutely loves them.”
Bobo is about five years old. Meanwhile, Lucy is currently living with cats, hence Pitties and Kitties. The organization has a fundraiser coming up July 25th at the Rail Yards.
“It’s the Disco Doggy Fashion Show, it’s a bunch of sustainable fashion designers and then a bunch of adoptable dogs. It’s not just our rescue. There are a few other rescues going. The dogs will be walking the runway with the fashion models, so it’ll be equal parts awesome, equal parts chaos,” Dusthimer said.
Tickets are available now (here online) but they’re also selling fast. If you can’t make it, maybe look at one of these pals to adopt in the video above.
Grant’s Monday Night Forecast
Monsoon storms will return to parts of New Mexico every day this week, while hotter temperatures move in later in the week.
Thunderstorms developed across the mountains of New Mexico Monday afternoon. These storms slowly drifted south into the evening. Almost all of these showers and storms have ended now tonight. Another round of afternoon thunderstorms is expected Tuesday, developing first over the mountains before spreading into nearby valleys and lower elevations again. However, some storms around the Four Corners will be on the drier side, increasing the threat for lightning caused wildfires with little rainfall.
The monsoon high that has been bringing thunderstorms early this week will shift well west of New Mexico on Wednesday. This will bring hotter and slightly drier weather across the state. Even so, afternoon thunderstorms will still develop, especially over the mountains and across northeast New Mexico. Drier air will limit storm coverage Thursday and Friday across central, northern, and western New Mexico, while southern and eastern parts of the state continue to see the best chance for afternoon storms. Hotter weather will also return later this week, with triple-digit heat expanding to more locations, including the Albuquerque metro area Thursday and Friday.
The heat will continue into the weekend as the monsoon high strengthens and shifts back toward Utah and Colorado. That pattern will also bring higher monsoon moisture into New Mexico, bringing increasing chances for afternoon and evening thunderstorms statewide Saturday and Sunday.
ROSWELL, N.M. (KRQE) — Organizers behind the annual Roswell UFO Festival say this past weekend’s event was a success. It was held from July 2 to July 4.
The festival was filled with unique booths, shops, shows and contests for paranormal enthusiasts. Roswell Mainstreet says they believe more than 12,000 people were in attendance, although those are preliminary numbers.
