Record and near-record high temperatures will continue through the weekend. Storms will be possible in parts of the state Saturday.
Storms were back across parts of New Mexico Friday afternoon. These storms have developed across the southwest and south-central mountains, along with parts of east-central New Mexico. A few of these storms are still sticking around the state tonight, with some spotty showers even moving through the Albuquerque Metro. Temperatures are even hotter this afternoon, with more of the state climbing into the 90s and triple-digits.
High pressure continues to build over New Mexico this weekend. Some moisture trapped underneath the high will again bring in isolated to scattered showers and storms, mainly along the central mountain chain and into western New Mexico. It will also be 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.
