AWAY ITS OUTER LAYERS. SOME OF US IN FOR A SOGGY NIGHT WITH SOME STRONG STORMS HERE. CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JOE DIAZ WITH THE FORECAST. WE HAVE A NEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING THAT WAS EXTENDED FROM THAT ONE. THAT WAS JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF LAS VEGAS. SO THIS IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 6:00. NOW, AT THE TOP OF THE NEWSCAST, WE COULD SEE THIS HAIL CORE COMING DOWN IN INTENSITY. NOW LOOK AT THE BRIGHTER SHADES ARE COMING UP. SO THIS IS GETTING STRONGER. SO FOLKS IN LAS VEGAS TAKE SHELTER FROM THE STORM, GET INSIDE AND JUST REALIZE IF YOU’RE AROUND THAT I-25 CORRIDOR OVER THE NEXT HALF HOUR OR SO, THIS WILL BE ROLLING OVER THE REGION DRY. AND ALBUQUERQUE RIGHT NOW, THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORMING ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN, THE SANDIA AND BANDANNAS. BUT WE LOOK TO THE WEST, YOU CAN SEE THESE STORMS AROUND LAGUNA, ACOMA PUEBLO. AND THIS IS MOVING IN A NORTH EASTERLY DIRECTION. BUT AS THE BAND CONTINUES TO WORK TO THE EAST, WE’RE LOOKING FOR MORE OF THESE TO WORK INTO OUR AREA. THE DEEPER WE GET INTO THE EVENING AND THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING TO THE SOUTH OF MAGDALENA, IT’S OVER A PRETTY REMOTE AREA NOW, AS IS THIS ONE TO THE SOUTH OF THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. THAT’S IN EFFECT FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES UNTIL 6:00 FOR TONIGHT. SO STRONG STORMS, EASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE. THAT’S GOING TO BE IN PLAY FOR TOMORROW. THEN DRIER AIR WORKING IN FROM THE WEST AND WARMER CONDITIONS WILL BE MOVING IN WITH FEWER STORMS TO TAKE US INTO THE FUTURE. SO THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM GRABBING SOME DISTURBANCES AND THROWING IT OVER THIS VERY UNSTABLE AIR. SO CHECK OUT FUTURE TRACK. LET ME GO AHEAD AND SHOW THIS TO YOU. I’M GOING TO STOP THIS AROUND 6:00 FOR TONIGHT. YOU CAN SEE THE STORMS TO THE WEST OF OUR AREA AND THEN WE’LL ADVANCE IT IN. LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS THE LATEST FORECAST MODEL JUST COMING IN, LOOKING FOR SOGGY CONDITIONS WITH SOME LIGHTNING. SO SOME SMALL HAIL ALL THROUGHOUT THESE BRIGHTER SHADES ON INTO SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE STATE, INTO AREAS AROUND LAS VEGAS. THAT’S 9:00 ADVANCING IT TILL A COUPLE ABOUT 2:00 IN THE MORNING. YOU SEE IT EAST CENTRAL PARTS OF NEW MEXICO AND THEN IT MOVES OUT AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON, WE’RE LOOKING FOR MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, REALLY ISOLATED, NOT AS ORGANIZED AROUND ALBUQUERQUE AND SANTA FE, BUT BECOMING MORE ORGANIZED EASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE. AND SOME OF THESE COULD BE SEVERE. SO MORE GARDEN VARIETY AROUND ALBUQUERQUE, BUT POTENTIALLY MORE SEVERE TO THE EAST. AND THE BIG FLOODING THREAT WOULD BE MORE OVER EASTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO WHERE THEY’VE BEEN DRENCHED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. SO WE’LL WAKE UP IN THE 50S. THERE’S ROOM FOR A PASSING SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM AROUND 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THEN WE GET QUIETER CONDITIONS AS WE WORK ON INTO THE NIGHT. AND YOU CAN SEE DRIER AIR WORKING INTO THE WEST TOMORROW. HOWEVER, AS WE GO INTO THURSDAY, MORE WARMTH, MORE SUNSHINE, FEWER STORMS ACROSS THE AREA. AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT TOMORROW OVER IN THE FOUR CORNERS GALLUP GRANTS ON INTO CORTEZ AND DURANGO. AND THEN LOOK AT FARMINGTON, DRY SKIES AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, SOUTHWEST 87 IN SOCORRO AND REALIZED WESTERN PARTS OF THE STATE THAT DRY AIR WILL BE PUSHING IN SO WE’RE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. LIMITED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND ALAMOGORDO ON INTO RUIDOSO, A LITTLE BIT MORE ORGANIZED EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. SO POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN WITH SOME STRONG STORMS AROUND. AND LOOK AT THAT, A 100 DEGREE FORECAST FOR TUESDAY IN ROSWELL. SO, YEAH, THE WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE STARTING TO BUILD IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS NOT AS ORGANIZED AT WHAT WE’RE EXPECTING FOR TONIGHT, BUT TOMORROW THERE WILL BE SOME SCATTERED, HEAVY DOWNPOURS ACROSS THE AREA AND SOME COULD BE TURNING SEVERE. THEN WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK GOING INTO THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 69IN 73. IN TAOS, NOT AS ACTIVE IN SANTA FE AS WHAT WE’RE EXPECTING FOR TOMORROW. AND THEN YOU SEE A DRIER CONDITIONS WORKING IN AS WE GET INTO THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND. AND A REFRESHING START GIVES WAY TO A PASSING SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM ANY AFTERNOON. SO A HIGH OF 83 DEGREES THERE. WARM AND DRY FOR THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, WINDS COME UP A LITTLE BIT OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST ON SUNDAY. THAT’LL PUSH US UP TO 88 DEGREES AND STILL TEMPERATURES RIGHT NEAR OR CLOSE TO NORMAL AS WE GET INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY. SO, YES, IT’S DRY RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU SAW TH
