Albuquerque, NM – New Mexico will experience scattered showers and thunderstorms on Sunday, with western and northern regions seeing the brunt of the activity. While thunderstorms are predicted to be more prevalent in these areas, fewer storms are expected across the eastern plains, where hot temperatures will continue.
According to the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, monsoon moisture will increase significantly over western and parts of northern New Mexico on Monday and Tuesday. The forecast predicts that storms will multiply during this period, leading to an elevated risk of heavy rainfall. This could result in localized flash flooding, particularly in areas with recent burn scars and poor drainage systems.
The weather service also notes that by Thursday and Friday, drier conditions are anticipated, resulting in fewer thunderstorms. Despite the reduction in storm activity later in the week, residents are urged to remain vigilant and prepared, particularly in flood-prone areas.
As the week progresses, temperatures will remain high, especially in eastern New Mexico, with Albuquerque and surrounding areas, including Rio Rancho, expecting highs in the upper 90s to low 100s. Residents should stay informed by checking updated forecasts and advisories.
