It will be another chilly night around the region, with a potential freeze in locations such as Santa Fe and Farmington. Many plants are blooming well-ahead of schedule so take action to protect sensitive vegetation.
Showers and thunderstorms return to northern and central NM on Monday and Tuesday. Precipitation amounts will be light, with less than 0.10" likely at many locations. All showers and thunderstorms will be capable of gusty and erratic winds. These winds may produce brief restrictions in visibility to blowing dust and result in abrupt crosswinds for high profile vehicles. Lightning strikes in receptive fuels may also result in new fire starts.
Above normal temperatures are forecast this week, with temperatures peaking on Wednesday. Scattered storms and gusty virga showers are likely Tuesday and Wednesday. Precipitation chances return late week, with the highest chances in eastern New Mexico.
Temperatures will warm a few degrees on Sunday but moisture moving into southern and southwest NM will bring a chance of light showers, gusty winds and perhaps a dry lightning strike.
