GOOD MONDAY MORNING. WELCOME TO YOUR NEW WEEK. AND WE ARE LOOKING AT A BEAUTIFUL SHOT FROM THE CREST CAM RIGHT NOW WITH THOSE BEAUTIFUL COLORS IN THE SKY AS THE SUN BEGINS TO BRIGHTEN UP THE HORIZON THERE. SUNRISE OFFICIALLY AT 553 THIS MORNING. STORM CHANCES GOING UP AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. POCKETS OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND SOME FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE. SOME SEVERE STORMS IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE STATE AS WELL. WE’LL BE WATCHING THAT VERY CAREFULLY. SO FLASH FLOOD WATCHES FOR THE BURN SCARS OF THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NEW MEXICO. THE HERMITS PEAK CALF CANYON, BURN SCAR, ALSO PARTS OF THE MOUNTAINS, LESS CONSCIOUS BURN SCAR AND ALSO THE MCBRIDE BURN SCARS, TOO. JUST BE ALERT TO THOSE BURN SCARS. JEFF. RAIN HITS THOSE AREAS. IT CAN CREATE FLASH FLOODING IN A HURRY. SO HERE IN THE METRO, THE PLANNER FOR TODAY, UPPER 50S AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING, WARM QUICKLY INTO THE UPPER 70S AND LOW 80S. THIS AFTERNOON WE’LL SEE STORM CHANCES THIS AFTERNOON. BUT I THINK THE BEST STORM CHANCE FOR US HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE WILL BE FROM THAT EVENING COMMUTE INTO THE DINNERTIME HOUR, 82, THE HIGH FOR ALBUQUERQUE, LOOKING AT 72 IN SANTA FE WITH GOOD CHANCE. SCATTERED STORMS THERE, 70 UP AROUND TOWN, SCATTERED STORMS ALSO FROM RATON, LAS VEGAS AND SANTA ROSA DOWN THROUGH ROSWELL INTO CARLSBAD. BACK TO THE WEST, WE’RE LOOKING AT A GOOD CHANCE OF SOME ISOLATED, SCATTERED STORMS AROUND GALLUP GRANTS AND ALSO INTO THE GILA AND DOWN AROUND TO C AND ELEPHANT BUTTE THOSE STORMS KEEP GOING INTO THE EVENING HOURS. ALBUQUERQUE STILL PRETTY ACTIVE, LOOKS LIKE WITH THAT CHANCE OF STORMS AROUND 9:00 OR SO AND SOME GUSTY CANYON WINDS OVERNIGHT, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH. WE’LL START OFF QUIET FOR YOUR TUESDAY AND THEN A GOOD CHANCE OF EVEN MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BEFORE TUESDAY. SOME OF THOSE COULD TURN SEVERE TOMORROW, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN PART OF THE STATE WITH DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL. THE BIGGEST THREATS FARM INTO THE FOUR CORNERS FOR TODAY. ISOLATED, SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OUT THERE FAVORING THE HIGHER TERRAIN. FARMS IN A HIGH OF 84 DEGREES, A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A STORM FOR YOU. BETTER STORM CHANCES IN FARMINGTON TOMORROW BEFORE IT BEGINS TO DRY OUT FOR LATER IN THE WEEK. SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO, WE’RE LOOKING AT ISOLATED, SCATTERED STORMS AROUND SOCORRO INTO T OR C, ELEPHANT BUTTE. ALSO SILVER CITY, GLENWOOD, SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS LESS OF A CHANCE FOR LORDSBURG, DEMING INTO LAS CRUCES. AND WE’RE LOOKING AT SCATTERED STORMS PICKING UP FOR TOMORROW AND SILVER CITY THEN DRYING OUT WEDNESDAY THURSDAY AND ALSO TO THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF THE STATE. ISOLATED, SCATTERED STORMS. RUIDOSO, THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS, POCKETS OF HEAVY RAINFALL, POSSIBLE ALAMOGORDO, A SLIGHT CHANCE OF STORMS FOR YOU, BETTER STORM CHANCES FOR FORT SUMNER, ARTESIA, ROSWELL, CARLSBAD AND HOBBS AND SOME OF THAT RAIN COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES. STORM CHANCES CONTINUE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS. IT LOOKS LIKE. AND TO THE SOUTHEAST AND FOR RATON, LAS VEGAS, AND ALSO IN SANTA ROSA, WE’RE LOOKING AT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, POCKETS OF HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE LOCALIZED FLOODING POSSIBILITY AS WELL. LAS VEGAS, YOU HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF STORMS THROUGH TUESDAY AND THE BEGINNING TO DRY. THINGS OUT, ESPECIALLY LATER IN THE WEEK. SANTA FE, LOS ALAMOS AND THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NEW MEXICO, TAOS AND A CHAMA SCATTER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND TODAY. BETTER STORM CHANCES TOMORROW. POCKETS OF HEAVY RAINFALL ARE POSSIBLE WITH ANY OF THOSE STORMS AND OF COURSE, WE COULD BE LOOKING AT SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING RIGHT HERE IN THE METRO BERNALILLO, RIO RANCHO LA LUNA SYMBOL IN A WARM DAY. AND THEN LATE TODAY, LIKELY INTO THE EVENING HOURS, WHILE THAT CHANCE OF SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND. I THINK WE’LL HAVE SOME STRONG CANYON WINDS FOR TONIGHT AS WELL IN ALBUQUERQUE AND A BETTER CHANCE OF SCATTERED STORMS AROUND FOR YOUR TUESDAY WITH POCKETS OF HEAVY RAINFALL BEGIN TO DRY THING
