Rain continues across New Mexico today. The heaviest rainfall will be in the Northern Mountains.
New Mexico is seeing another day of heavy rainfall. The showers and storms started this morning and will last well into tonight. The heaviest rainfall is expected in the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez Mountains. Due to the anticipated rainfall, the National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for the Hermits Peak Calf Canyon Burn Scar Area. This watch will be in effect until late in the evening of September 16th.
Dry air and an accompanying cold front move into New Mexico from the west on Tuesday. This will bring scattered showers and storms to the state. Storms have a preference to form on the edge of the cold front. They will have the potential to be severe Tuesday afternoon.
Even more dry air will move into New Mexico on Wednesday. This dry will almost entirely wipe out rain chances for the state on Wednesday and Thursday. Spotty showers along the New Mexico/ Texas border are possible. Isolated storm chances will return to the state again on Friday and last through the weekend.
The cold front moving into New Mexico on Tuesday will allow for temperatures to cool off. They will be seasonable across most of the state. However, as the dry front moves in on Wednesday temperatures could begin to climb once again. This will be especially prevalent in the Southeast. This region will likely miss out on most of the heavy rain, allowing its temperatures to begin climbing sooner. Places like Roswell could even see more record breaking highs.
