New Mexico Weather Update: Mostly Dry Weather for New Mexico
NEW MEXICO – Today is shaping up to be relatively calm across New Mexico, with most areas remaining dry. High pressure over the Four Corners region is contributing moisture to northern New Mexico, leading to a few spotty showers in the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez mountains later in the day.
Forecast for Tomorrow and the Week Ahead
The high pressure system is expected to weaken tomorrow, but the moisture and rain chances in northern New Mexico will persist. Later in the week, a low pressure system building over the Pacific Northwest will introduce dry air to New Mexico, reducing rain chances. By late in the week, only isolated showers are expected, with the next significant chance for widespread rain projected for Sunday.
Seasonal Weather and Temperature Trends
Overall, the weather will remain seasonable in regions not experiencing rain. Cloud cover will range from mostly sunny to partly cloudy in the afternoons, and temperatures will stay near average for most of the week. As the low pressure system approaches, central and southern New Mexico may see temperatures rise into the 90s.
