ABUNDANT MID LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS NM THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST THE FIRST HALF OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK. STORMS HAVE FORMED OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN TODAY BUT TO THIS POINT DO NOT LOOK AS STRONG AS ON SATURDAY. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY LAPS CAPE WHICH IS LESS IN THE EAST TODAY...BUT IS A BIT HIGHER IN THE WEST. LIKE YESTERDAY...SOUNDING SUPPORT DOWNBURST TYPE GUSTY WINDS. A MIX OF WET AND DRY STORMS ARE FORECAST WEST OF THE DIVIDE...SO MORE FIRES COULD IGNITE. IN THE EAST...BEST FOCUS WILL BE NEAR THE COLD FRONT WHICH IS ENTERING NE NM ATTM. EXPECT HEAVY RAIN WITH ISOLD GUSTY WINDS TO SHIFT SWD DOWN CENTRAL HIGHLANDS AND ERN PLAINS THIS EVENING. FRONT WILL BACK INTO THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND WITH ADDITION OF CONVECTION...EXPECT A DECENT SURGE INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AFTER SUNDOWN. WINDS AND MOISTURE WILL SURGE TO THE DIVIDE OVERNIGHT. THIS SHOULD SHUT OFF RAIN CHANCES FOR THE VALLEY LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING...BUT REFOCUS THEM WESTWARD. MORE MOISTURE IN THE LOW LEVELS OUT WEST SHOULD DECREASE DRY THUNDER/DOWNBURST POTENTIALS MON AFTERNOON...BUT INCREASE RAIN CHANCES THERE. IN THE EAST...THE ATMOSPHERE MAY BE MORE STABLE BUT EXPECT STORMS TO FORM ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND TRY TO MOVE EAST MON EVE. MODELS STILL ADVERTISING A PUSH OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE NWD INTO NM TUESDAY...THEN SHIFT THIS EASTWARD THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK.
