New Mexico
Hotter and drier weather continues across New Mexico
High pressure has built over New Mexico today. Some moisture trapped underneath the high has brought in isolated to scattered showers and storms, mainly along the central mountain chain and into western New Mexico. It was also an even hotter day with more record and near-record high temperatures. Sunday will be a drier day with highs once again flirting or breaking record highs. Storms will be likely though in southern Colorado and far northern New Mexico.
Record and near-record high temperatures will continue through at least the middle of next week as the monsoon high stays camped out over New Mexico. Monsoon moisture continues to get wrapped around the high pressure, bringing in some isolated storms to far western and northern New Mexico through next Wednesday. A surge of moisture from the east will move in starting next Thursday, increasing rain chances at the end of next week.
