Widespread rain and scattered storms are on the way

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:01]STORMS.

[00:00:01]AND THERE’S A LOT GOING ON THIS WEEK.

[00:00:04]OLGA.

[00:00:05]YEAH THERE IS.

[00:00:06]FOLKS JUST NEED TO BE PREPARED IN ADVANCE.

[00:00:08]THAT’S WHY I’M HERE TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT’S COMING AHEAD AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

[00:00:12]TODAY.

[00:00:14]GORGEOUS.

[00:00:14]THE ENDING OUR WEEKEND, JUST AS WE STARTED WITH THE SATURDAY TEMPERATURES VERY, VERY WARM.

[00:00:19]AND TODAY WE DID KIND OF HEAT IT UP AS WELL.

[00:00:22]LOTS OF BLUE SKY SHOWING FROM OUR CAMERA VIEW.

[00:00:24]WE’RE CLEAR AT THE SUNPORT WINDS GENTLY OUT OF THE WEST AND 84 DEGREES.

[00:00:29]WE’RE KIND OF IN THAT COMFORTABLE ZONE WHERE IT’S NOT TOO HOT, BUT STILL FEELING SUMMER LIKE 77 TO DURANGO RIGHT NOW, AND UPPER 70S ACROSS TAOS.

[00:00:37]BUT THE MAJORITY OF US ARE IN THE 80S AND LOWER 90S, WITH THE EXCEPTION, HOWEVER, OF CARLSBAD, 99 DEGREES AT THE PRESENT TIME AND A FEW UPPER 90S HERE AND THERE TO THE SOUTH, THE WINDS HAVE DIALED BACK A BIT THE SUSTAINED WINDS, AND THAT’S GREAT FOR THE FIREFIGHTING EFFORTS, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME POCKETS OF GUSTY WINDS THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO BE AWARE OF.

[00:00:55]KEEP THAT IN MIND IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE OUT AND ABOUT LATER ON THIS EVENING.

[00:00:59]YOU MAY START TO FEEL THAT GUST.

[00:01:01]OUR ALBUQUERQUE PLANNER STAYS VERY, VERY QUIET.

[00:01:03]WINDS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS, CLEAR SKIES UNTIL WE GET TO MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

[00:01:07]AND WE’LL EVEN SEE SOME SUNSHINE TOMORROW.

[00:01:09]SO THAT IS THE EASY PART OF THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST.

[00:01:13]THEN AFTER MONDAY, WE START TO BRING IN THESE RAIN CHANCES.

[00:01:17]40% IS PRETTY ROBUST.

[00:01:18]WE’LL SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON ELECTION OR PRIMARY ELECTION DAY TUESDAY, WHICH COULD IMPACT YOUR TIMING.

[00:01:25]IF YOU WANT TO GET OUT TO THE POLLS ON TUESDAY, WE’LL ALSO CARRY SOME RAIN INTO WEDNESDAY AND EARLY ON THURSDAY AS WELL.

[00:01:33]THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE TUESDAY STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE, MAINLY OFF TOWARD THE NORTH AND TOWARD THE EAST.

[00:01:39]SO WE WILL BE KEEPING OUR EYE ON CLAYTON, TUCUMCARI AND CLOVIS.

[00:01:42]BUT WE COULD SEE, AS YOU NOTICE, THE ENTIRE MAP IS GREEN.

[00:01:45]WE DO HAVE SOME STORMS POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE STATE FOR MOST OF THE DAY ON TUESDAY, SO LET’S KIND OF TIME IT OUT AND SEE WHERE A LOT OF THIS RAIN WILL BE FALLING BY THE EVENING HOURS ON TUESDAY.

[00:01:55]I THINK THAT’S WHERE WE’RE GOING TO SEE THE BRUNT OF IT HERE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO.

[00:02:00]THE REDS AND YELLOWS STARTING TO POP THROUGH OUR TEMPERATURES SHOULD MAKE IT TO 86 DEGREES BEFORE THE STORMS ARRIVE, BUT THEN THOSE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO PLUMMET BEHIND THE FRONT.

[00:02:09]NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT RAIN TOTALS INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.

[00:02:13]THERE COULD BE SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT RAIN IN PORTIONS, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

[00:02:18]RUIDOSO AND THE BURN SCAR AREA JUST SOUTH OF LAS VEGAS IS PRONE TO SOME FLASH FLOODING.

[00:02:24]NO?

[00:02:24]WELL, NO FLOOD ALERTS OR WATCHES UP JUST YET, BUT THAT COULD CHANGE WHEN WE GET CLOSER TO TUESDAY.

[00:02:30]THEN WE’RE GOING TO CARRY THIS RAIN INTO WEDNESDAY AND EVEN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY EVENING.

[00:02:35]AND WHEN YOU GET TO RAIN TOTALS THAT ARE OVER AN INCH, THAT COULD BE PROBLEMATIC FOR PORTIONS OF OUR VIEWING AREA.

[00:02:41]AGAIN, THIS IS ONE FORECAST MODEL FOR TONIGHT, THOUGH.

[00:02:43]I THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE PRETTY GOOD.

[00:02:45]WE’LL KEEP OUR SKIES MAINLY CLEAR, COOLING IT DOWN TOMORROW MORNING WITH A FEW PASSING CLOUDS TO THE SOUTH.

[00:02:50]BUT TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A LOT LIKE TODAY.

[00:02:53]WE’RE GOING TO WARM IT UP AND THE TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE THE WARMEST OF THE WEEK BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

[00:02:59]ALBUQUERQUE METRO SHOULD HIT CLOSE TO 92 DEGREES.

[00:03:02]WE’RE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD FOR STARTING US OFF ON ELECTION DAY, BUT THE AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING COULD BE PROBLEMATIC.

[00:03:08]WE’LL KEEP SOME SUNSHINE TOMORROW FOR THE FOUR CORNERS REGION, THEN INTRODUCE SOME CLOUDS.

[00:03:13]THIS REGION IS FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THAT SERVE OF SURGE OF GULF MOISTURE TO STAY DRY, BUT IMPACT STORMS VERY POSSIBLE AS WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY FOR SILVER CITY AND OTHER AREAS SOUTH AND WEST, IT’S GOING TO BE WET AND SLOPPY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS FOR OUR SOUTHERN AND EASTERN LOCATIONS, WHICH MEANS IMPACT WEATHER FOR ROSWELL, CARLSBAD AND HOBBS ON BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

[00:03:33]LOOKS LIKE A WET STRETCH ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK FOR LAS VEGAS, RATON AND RED RIVER.

[00:03:39]AND YES, SANTA FE.

[00:03:40]YOU’RE GETTING IN ON SOME OF THAT ACTION AS WELL.

[00:03:43]IN THAT TUESDAY TO WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME IN PARTICULAR.

[00:03:44]SO THE FORECAST TOMORROW, TAKE ADVA
