Evening Storms Target Central and Northern New Mexico Before Cold Front Ushers in Drier, Cooler Weather

Moisture and an approaching front set the stage for a final round of storms.

Overview

  • Forecasters expect redevelopment of thunderstorms this evening into the night across central and north‑central New Mexico, with activity ending by early Thursday.
  • Isolated severe weather is possible, including damaging wind gusts, hail, heavy rain, and a small tornado risk in the upper Rio Grande Valley around 10 p.m.
  • Flash flooding may occur in the strongest cells, while high peaks in northern New Mexico into Colorado see wet snow.
  • Winds are already gusting over 30 mph in parts of western New Mexico, with stronger gusts moving into the Albuquerque area tonight.
  • A cold front brings much drier air Thursday with falling dew points, below‑average highs, and near‑freezing morning lows Friday into the weekend, with only a few isolated storms near the Texas line.
