Rain decreasing across New Mexico

Early this afternoon spotty showers were seen across southeastern New Mexico. This rain is expected to dissipate in the evening.

Another dry day for most of New Mexico with the exception of the far southeast. Overnight the state is expected to dry out almost completely. Rain chances tomorrow will be few and far between. The far southeast of New Mexico and the Northern Mountains can expect a few showers. Though the rest of the state will remain dry. The lack of rainfall across most of the state has allowed for high temperatures to inch back up above average. Though they are still seasonably warm.

Late Thursday afternoon or early Thursday evening a backdoor cold front will make its way into New Mexico. An influx of moisture will accompany it. This moisture will bring isolated rain to the eastern half of New Mexico. Currently, models are in disagreement as to how far west the rain will be. The cold front will allow most of the state to return to normal temperatures.

Friday the dry air will return to New Mexico and rain chances will decrease once again. Isolated showers and storms can be expected through the weekend in the Southeast and Northern Mountains.
