Albuquerque, NM – New Mexico is expected to experience another round of severe weather on Sunday, with storms predicted to cover much of the central and western regions. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued alerts for the day, highlighting the potential for severe thunderstorms, including damaging winds and hail, from 1 PM to 9 PM MDT.
The NWS Albuquerque office warns that conditions could worsen, with the possibility of storms intensifying as they move slowly across the state. There is a slight chance of tornadoes in the affected areas, particularly during the peak afternoon and evening hours.
Residents in central and western New Mexico should prepare for potentially hazardous conditions, with localized flooding possible in areas prone to heavy rainfall. The extended storm motion may lead to prolonged periods of rain, increasing the likelihood of flash floods.
Looking ahead, the severe weather threat is expected to extend into the early part of the week, with storms likely continuing through Monday. However, the intensity may lessen as the system gradually moves eastward. The NWS advises staying updated on weather alerts and being prepared for sudden changes in conditions throughout Sunday and beyond.
