TIME, GET READY FOR A CHANGE IN WEATHER. CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JOE DIAZ HAS YOUR FORECAST. YEAH, SO IT’S ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF MAY. WE’VE BEEN IN THIS ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WITH THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AND REALLY ACTIVE EASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE ESPECIALLY. YOU CAN SEE THIS IN PLAY RIGHT NOW. SOME STRONG STORMS TO THE EAST OF ARTESIA, TO THE NORTHEAST OF CARLSBAD. AND THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF HAIL IF YOU LOOK AT THESE AREAS IN THE PURPLES DEVELOPING, THAT’S A LITTLE BIT OF HAIL ACROSS THE REGION. SO TAKE SHELTER IF YOU’RE IN THAT AREA. AND THEN RIGHT ALONG THAT 285 CORRIDOR FROM ROSWELL DOWN INTO CARLSBAD, A CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AND THERE’S SOME SMALL HAIL AND SOME STRONG WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AS WELL. AND THAT’S GOING TO BE DYING DOWN OVER THE NEXT HALF HOUR. BUT DRIER CONDITIONS WILL BE MOVING IN THROUGHOUT MUCH OF NEW MEXICO. TEMPERATURES TURNING WARMER AND THEN LIMITED STORMS WILL BE OFF AND ON ACROSS NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE. HEY, WE HAD SOME STORMS OVER THE WESTERN PART OF THE CITY, BUT FOR THE ISOTOPES GAME, AT 635, IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY COMFORTABLE TIME TO BE OUTSIDE WITH THE WARM TEMPERATURES AND A DECENT AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE AROUND. NOW, HERE’S THE HUMID AIR. YOU SEE THAT OVER EASTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO. LOOK AT THAT OVER IN ROSWELL, 65% RELATIVE HUMIDITY, BUT MUCH DRIER. LOOK AT THAT SINGLE DIGIT RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS FROM SILVER CITY AND TEN OVER IN GRANTS. SO THIS DRIER AIR WILL BE OVERTAKING MUCH OF NEW MEXICO AS THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SORT OF BACKS AWAY FROM OUR AREA. SO AS WE ADVANCE TO THE DAY TOMORROW, IT WILL BE DRIER, IT WILL BE WARMER, AND A FEW LIMITED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, MAINLY OVER NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE. THEN WE GO ON INTO FRIDAY AND A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOUTHWEST, BUT A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE STATE. BUT NOTICE IT WILL BE WARMER AS WELL. NOW, THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT YOU SEE RIGHT NOW, YOU SEE HIM PUSHING OFF AS WE GO INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND WITH THAT DRIER AIR TAKING OVER AS WE ADVANCE TO THE WELL, 7:00 HOUR, JUST A FEW OF YOUR GARDEN VARIETY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE, NOT SO MUCH SLAMMING THE THE AREAS AROUND THE BURN SCARS WITH HEAVY RAIN IN NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE WILL HAVE A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO WORK AROUND, BUT NOT EXPECTING SEVERE LEVELS. OKAY, 58 TO START. WE GET INTO THE MID 80S TOMORROW. SO A PRETTY GOOD DAY FOR YOUR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. IT WILL BE WARM, SO DRIER STATEWIDE FOR THURSDAY. AS WE GO ON INTO FRIDAY, YOU’LL SEE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, MAYBE SOME ISOLATED GUSTY ONES AROUND ALBUQUERQUE. BUT MORE OF A FOCUS NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO AND GOING INTO SATURDAY. YEAH, THAT WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE. SO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION FORECAST ARE GOING TO BE PRETTY DRY AND QUIET. A FEW CLOUDS ACROSS THE AREA BY FRIDAY. SOUTHWEST, YOU’LL SEE DAYTIME HIGHS WARMING INTO THE 90S THROUGHOUT SOCORRO ON INTO TIER C AND THEN 80 AND A COUPLE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EARLY IN THE DAY ON FRIDAY. BUT AND THEN YOU GET INTO THE DRY FORECAST ACROSS THE REGION, 78 TOMORROW OVER IN RIO RUIDOSO AND DRIER SKIES TAKING OVER MIXTURE OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE. BY FRIDAY, HOWEVER, NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF NEW MEXICO, NOT MUCH COMING OFF THE MOUNTAINS, ROLLING INTO RATON IN LAS VEGAS, A LITTLE BIT MORE BY FRIDAY AND THEN PICKING UP AGAIN AS A MORE MOISTURE BACKS IN FOR THE LATTER PORTION OF THE WEEKEND. 78 OVER IN TAOS, 77 IN SANTA FE, A COUPLE OF CLOUDS AROUND FOR FRIDAY AND THEN LOOK AT THE WARM TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S AND NEAR 80 DEGREES AND A REFRESHING START WILL GIVE WAY TO SUNSHINE AND QUIET. YOU CAN DO THAT. ALL RIGHT. SO ROOM FOR A SPOT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM, MAINLY GUSTY FOR YOUR FRIDAY AND THEN FOR SATURDAY. WARM AND DRY, LOOKING GOOD FOR THE PRIDE PARADE. A LITTLE BIT BREEZY IN THE AFTERNOON FOR SUNDAY, MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH A STRONGER WINDS ACROSS SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE STATE. SO FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS, WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE ACTIVE WEATHER ACROSS NEW MEXICO. AND THIS IS GETTING MORE INTO THAT TYPICAL PATTERN WE SEE IN JUNE WHERE IT’S SUNNY, IT’S WARM AND IT’S PRETTY DRY FINALLY. AND THE AIR IS CLEAN. SO WE’RE FORTUNATE YOU G
