Fewer Storms and More Heat - 6pm weather

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:01]WHILE WARMING UP AND DRYING OUT.

[00:00:04]BYRON SHOWS US WHEN STORMS RETURN AND OUR KOAT 7 WEATHER.

[00:00:07]THE PAST TWO DAYS WILL BE GOOD TO US FOR THE MOISTURE ACROSS NEW MEXICO.

[00:00:12]ALBUQUERQUE.

[00:00:13]LOOK AT THAT 6907 INCH OF RAINFALL THAT PUTS OUR MAY TOTAL OVER AN INCH, WHICH IS OVER A HALF INCH ABOVE AVERAGE.

[00:00:19]SANTA FE GOT 3907 INCH OF RAIN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, PUTTING THEIR TOTAL FOR THE MONTH OF MAY.

[00:00:24]OVER HALF INCH ABOVE AVERAGE.

[00:00:25]FARMINGTON FALLING SHORT.

[00:00:26]UNFORTUNATELY, WE STILL NEED SOME RAIN IN THE FOUR CORNERS REGION.

[00:00:29]ROSWELL AND DEMING ALSO DOING WELL WITH THE PAST COUPLE DAYS AND RAINFALL FOR THE MONTH.

[00:00:33]PRETTY QUIET OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, BUT WE DO HAVE A LONE SHOWER THUNDERSTORM THAT’S IN FAR EAST AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO.

[00:00:38]IT’S KIND OF FALLING APART NOW AROUND THE HOUSE AREA.

[00:00:40]HAD SOME LIGHTNING WITH IT EARLIER, BUT THAT THING IS REALLY FIZZLED OUT LIVE.

[00:00:44]LOOK ALBUQUERQUE RIGHT NOW.

[00:00:45]BOY, REALLY NICE OUT THERE.

[00:00:46]DRIER AND WARMER BREEZES FOR MOST OF US.

[00:00:48]BEST RAIN CHANCES EASTERN NEW MEXICO.

[00:00:50]NICE FOR THE LAST WEEKEND OF MAY AS WELL IF YOU HAVE PLANS THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND.

[00:00:54]BUT WE DO HAVE BREEZES IN THE FOUR CORNERS REGION AND THAT HAS PROMPTED THOSE FIRE WEATHER WARNINGS.

[00:00:59]CORTEZ, DURANGO THE FOUR CORNERS AREA FOR TODAY INTO THIS EVENING, ALSO FOR THURSDAY AND AGAIN ON FRIDAY.

[00:01:05]SEE THOSE WINDS RIGHT NOW GUSTING 25MPH FOR DURANGO, 20 PLUS FOR JUST UPDATING THERE.

[00:01:09]AS YOU SEE FOR CHILI INTO GALLUP AND ALSO FOR THE GRANTS AREA.

[00:01:12]SO AVOID ANYTHING THAT COULD SPARK A FIRE.

[00:01:13]GET OUT OF CONTROL REALLY QUICKLY.

[00:01:15]WE’VE SEEN THAT ACROSS MUCH OF NEW MEXICO.

[00:01:17]THE TEMPERATURES WARMING UP AS WELL, LOTS OF 80S AND EVEN SOME 90S DOWN TO THE SOUTH, DRY CENTRAL AND WEST RIGHT NOW.

[00:01:24]TONIGHT WE’LL SEE SOME OF THAT MOISTURE SLOSH INTO CENTRAL AREAS OF NEW MEXICO.

[00:01:27]BUT THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE WILL FAVOR EASTERN NEW MEXICO FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND WILL BE ON THE FRINGE HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE.

[00:01:33]A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A STORM.

[00:01:34]SAME DEAL FOR FRIDAY.

[00:01:35]THE BEST CHANCE WITH THAT MOISTURE OUT EAST WOULD BE THE EASTERN PART OF THE STATE FOR THOSE STORMS DRY ACROSS WESTERN AREAS.

[00:01:43]GOT THE ICE TOPES GOING AT THE PITCH THIS EVENING, 6.35 THAT FIRST PITCH.

[00:01:47]IT IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH THE BORACHO NACHOS OUT THERE.

[00:01:50]TEMPERATURES FROM THE 80S INTO THE 70S.

[00:01:53]SO PLEASANT EVENING FOR SOME BASEBALL.

[00:01:54]A LITTLE BREEZY OUT THERE.

[00:01:55]YOU SEE ACROSS NEW MEXICO LOOKING PRETTY QUIET AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NIGHT.

[00:01:58]TEMPERATURES WILL START OUT PRETTY COOL IN THE MORNING.

[00:02:00]A PLEASANT START TO YOUR THURSDAY.

[00:02:02]BY THE AFTERNOON, SOME BREEZES, THAT CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM.

[00:02:05]WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH RUIDOSO.

[00:02:06]OF COURSE, WE WANT TO WATCH THOSE BURN SCARS AS WE HIT THE AFTERNOON.

[00:02:09]THAT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WORKING INTO THE EAST AND NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE AS WELL COULD GET CLIPPED WITH ONE HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE.

[00:02:15]AS I MENTIONED FRIDAY, THAT STORM THREAT AGAIN, EASTERN NEW MEXICO, SOME OF THOSE COULD TRY TO TURN SEVERE TOWARD THE TEXAS STATE LINE, BUT NOT LOOKING AT ANYTHING WIDESPREAD THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS FAR AS MOISTURE IS CONCERNED.

[00:02:26]AGAIN, EASTERN NEW MEXICO FAVORED FOR THAT RAINFALL FAR INTO THE FOUR CORNERS.

[00:02:29]DURANGO, CHILE.

[00:02:30]GALLUP HAS GOT A BEAUTIFUL STRETCH THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

[00:02:32]WATCH OUT FOR THOSE BREEZES.

[00:02:33]AND AGAIN, THAT FIRE THREAT OUT THERE AS WELL.

[00:02:35]TEMPERATURES LOOKING GOOD FOR THE FINAL WEEKEND OF MAY.

[00:02:38]MAYBE SOME RAIN WORKING BACK IN FOR THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.

[00:02:41]SOCORRO T OR C SILVER CITY LORDSBURG DEMING.

[00:02:43]SAME DEAL.

[00:02:43]LOOKING PRETTY GOOD THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

[00:02:46]A NICE FINAL WEEKEND OF MAY RAIN LOOKS TO RETURN AS WE HOPE FOR NEXT WEEK.

[00:02:51]77 RUIDOSO LOOKING AT AN 83 IN FORT SUMNER.

[00:02:54]87 ROSWELL 90 FOR CARLSBAD TOMORROW.

[00:02:55]CHANCE OF STORMS AROUND HERE.

[00:02:57]THAT THUNDER TAKE COVER INSIDE FRIDAY.

[00:02:59]A BETTER CHANCE OF THAT.

[00:03:00]THE WEEKEND DRIER.

[00:03:01]MORE STORM CHANCES TUESDAY.

[00:03:02]WEDNESDAY INTO THE NORTHEAST.

[00:03:03]RATON, LAS VEGAS.

[00:03:04]MORIARTY AND SANTA ROSA.

[00:03:05]THIS IS THE AREA THAT’S MOST LIKELY TO HAVE THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS, WITH IMPACT STORMS ON FRIDAY LESS ACTIVE SATURDAY, SUNDAY.

[00:03:13]AND THEN WE SEE THAT STORM CHANCE RETURNING FOR NEXT WEEK.

[00:03:16]NORTHERN MOUNTAINS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF STORM TAOS ESPANOLA INTO SANTA FE TOMORROW, BUT BETTER CHANCES.

[00:03:20]FRIDAY.

[00:03:20]WE QUIETED DOWN FOR YOUR WEEKEND AND THE STORM CHANCES BACK TUESDAY.

[00:03:23]WEDNESDAY, RIGHT HERE IN THE METRO BERNALILLO, RIO, RANCHO, LOS LUNAS, SOME REALLY NICE.

[00:03:28]INTO THE WEEKEND, INTO MAY.

[00:03:30]TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S TO NEAR 90 DEGREES.

[00:03:32]AND THEN WE SEE THAT CHANCE OF STORMS WORKING BACK IN FOR NEXT WEEK.

[00:03:35]BUT YEAH, LOOKING PRETTY GOOD TO GET OUTSIDE.

[00:03:36]YOU KNOW WE HAD
