Storms move out of New Mexico tonight with a cold front sweeping across the state. Drier weather returns through Thursday.
Strong and severe storms moved across parts of New Mexico Tuesday. These storms have now mostly moved out of the state tonight as drier weather moves in and skies are clearing. It was also a windy day across parts of the state. Winds have died down tonight as cooler overnight low settle in. Parts of west-central, far northern New Mexico, and southern Colorado will see lows drop into the 30s tonight with clear skies.
Despite the chilly morning Wednesday, warmer weather is on the way Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. On Friday, moisture gets drawn back up into eastern New Mexico as another low pressure system approaches from the west. This will bring in breezy winds across the state, along with thunderstorm chances along and east of the central mountain chain. A cold front sweeps across the state Saturday, bringing a higher chance for rain to northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, along with eastern parts of the state.
Drier weather again returns Sunday, but the front will leave temperatures cooler this weekend, especially in the morning hours. A warming trend begins early next week bringing highs back to near and above normal by next Tuesday.
