The focus for thunderstorms with locally heavy rainfall will be over northeast and southwest NM Wednesday afternoon. A few storms are still expected to drift into the Rio Grande Valley through Wednesday evening however computer models have trended drier once again.

Temperatures will cool a couple degrees through Thursday as showers and storms move back into New Mexico. Another very dry and hot airmass will return by Friday with near record temperatures once again through the weekend.
