Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:02]IMPACT.

[00:00:02]RAIN AND WIND ON MEMORIAL DAY.

[00:00:05]YEP, I’M GOING TO HAVE TO RAIN ON SOME PARADES TOMORROW, BUT NOT AN ALL DAY WASHOUT.

[00:00:10]IF YOU GET YOUR ACTIVITIES IN EARLY DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY, WE’RE GOING TO BE OKAY.

[00:00:15]BUT FROM MIDDAY AND BEYOND, THOSE CLOUDS ARE GOING TO BUILD.

[00:00:17]THOSE RAIN OPPORTUNITIES ARE GOING TO GO UP AND WE WILL SEE SOME STORM ACTION HERE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO.

[00:00:21]HOW MUCH RAIN ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

[00:00:24]NOT A LOT IN THE MORNING.

[00:00:25]THIS IS 8:00 WITH OUR FUTURE TRACK FORECAST MODEL.

[00:00:28]THE EUROPEAN MODEL THAT IS MOVING FROM 8:00 TILL ABOUT 3:00 IN THE AFTERNOON.

[00:00:33]THAT’S WHEN WE’LL START TO SEE THE FIRST SHOWERS BEGIN TO DEVELOP.

[00:00:36]BUT RAIN WILL BE PRETTY LIGHT TO MODERATE UNTIL ABOUT 7:00 TOMORROW NIGHT.

[00:00:40]THEN THINGS START TO CHANGE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY WE’LL GET SOME HEAVIER AND STEADIER RAIN, MAYBE EVEN SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER OVERNIGHT.

[00:00:48]BUT BY TUESDAY, THE RAIN WILL HAVE SHIFTED OFF TOWARD THE EAST.

[00:00:52]BUT THAT’S NOT IT.

[00:00:53]BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND TUESDAY EVENING, MORE RAIN FALLING IN THE EASTERN END OF THE STATE.

[00:00:58]AND THAT’S WHERE WE’RE EXPECTING TO SEE SOME OF OUR HIGHEST TOTALS BY TUESDAY NIGHT.

[00:01:02]AGAIN, THIS IS MUCH NEEDED RAIN, BUT WE’VE GOT OUR EYE ON SOME OF THOSE BURN SCAR AREAS, PARTICULARLY IN AND AROUND RUIDOSO AND THE SEVEN CABINS FIRE, WHICH COULD BE PROBLEMATIC.

[00:01:11]WE WILL HAVE SOME IMPACT WEATHER FOR YOU TOMORROW.

[00:01:14]THE RAIN SHOWERS WILL GET HERE, AND THAT MEANS THAT DRIVING AROUND COULD BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING.

[00:01:22]AS WE MOVE ON INTO THE HOUR TO OUR FORECAST, ONLY A 20% OF RAIN BY NOON TOMORROW.

[00:01:27]SO AGAIN, FIRST HALF OF THE DAY LOOKS PRETTY GOOD, BUT WE’LL RAMP UP OUR RAIN OPPORTUNITIES AND OUR WIND POSSIBILITIES AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING.

[00:01:37]FORECAST LONG TERM IS DEFINITELY GOING TO KEEP SOME RAIN AROUND, ESPECIALLY THOSE BURN SCAR AREAS THROUGH MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

[00:01:44]SO WE COULD HAVE SOME FLOODING AND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH GOING UP TOMORROW, MIDDAY AND BEYOND FOR THAT NORTHERN PORTION OF THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS.

[00:01:53]AND OUR AIR QUALITY FOR THIS HOUR, WE’RE STILL DEALING WITH SOME DIMINISHED AIR QUALITY IN AND AROUND THE REGION.

[00:01:58]THIS WILL BE THE CASE AS WE MOVE ON INTO THE AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING.

[00:02:03]THINGS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

[00:02:05]RIGHT NOW THE CLOUDS ARE IN PLACE, BUT SO FAR NO RAIN FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO SITTING AT 87 DEGREES.

[00:02:12]IT’S WARM ALL OVER, INCLUDING SOME 90S ACROSS A FEW OF OUR SOUTHERN ZONES.

[00:02:15]BUT THE PLANNER THIS EVENING, I THINK, IS GOING TO KEEP US FAIRLY QUIET, AT LEAST FOR THE SHORT TERM.

[00:02:21]CLOUDS START TO PULL IN LATE TONIGHT.

[00:02:23]EARLY TOMORROW MORNING, YOU’LL STILL GET IN A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS FOR TOMORROW.

[00:02:31]SO LET’S TAKE YOU TO YOUR ZONE FORECASTS.

[00:02:34]IF WE CAN GET THERE FROM HERE.

[00:02:36]SMOKE FORECAST IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A FACTOR AS WE MOVE INTO TOMORROW AND BE OUR PLANNER.

[00:02:42]DEFINITELY PULLING IN THAT RAIN.

[00:02:44]EARLY MORNING RAIN WILL START TO PUSH IN ON THE WESTERN END OF THE STATE.

[00:02:48]THEN WE WILL DEFINITELY SEE OUR TEMPERATURES RISE AND THE RAIN OPPORTUNITIES CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING.

[00:02:54]IN PARTICULAR, FOUR CORNERS REGION.

[00:02:56]MORE CLOUDS THAN SUNSHINE FOR TOMORROW.

[00:02:59]TEMPERATURES BACK OFF CONSIDERABLY BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH IMPACT WIND AND RAIN MOVING THROUGH.

[00:03:05]PRETTY STORMY FOR SILVER CITY AFTERNOON AND EVENING TOMORROW, WITH SUNSHINE RETURNING BY MIDWEEK FROM THE 90S TO THE 70S.

[00:03:11]TUESDAY’S THE DAY TO WATCH OUT FOR FOR ROSWELL, CARLSBAD AND HOBBS.

[00:03:15]WITH THE STORMY WEATHER.

[00:03:16]AND YET WE’RE GOING TO BE IN FOR IT AS WELL.

[00:03:20]LAS VEGAS, RATON AND RED RIVER.

[00:03:22]THIS COULD SEE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME OF THAT FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL.

[00:03:26]SANTA FE DOES PRETTY WELL FIRST HALF OF THE DAY TOMORROW FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO.

[00:03:29]LOOKS LIKE SPOTTY SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP LATE DAY AND OUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST.

[00:03:32]WE’RE
