.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 241 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025
Showers, some heavy, continue to move north across SE NM and the
higher terrain. A few locations have picked up 0.5"-1" since
midnight, but we have seen a downward trend in coverage on radar
over the last 2 hours. Temperatures remain mild and mostly in the
70s this morning due to the clouds.
A deep fetch of monsoonal moisture will continue to affect western
portions of the area through midweek. This will keep rain chances
high, especially for locations west of the Pecos River. Best
coverage for these area will be each afternoon (30-60%), waning
after midnight (20-30%). With PWATs +2SD heavy rain and flash
flooding with be the main threat we face this week. Will opt to
reissue the Flood Watch for western locations again today. Locations
seeing clouds and rain will only see highs in the 80s at best today
and Wednesday while areas to the east will heat back to near normal
(mid 90s).

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 241 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025
The long term begins with a gradual warmup through Sunday as
thicknesses slowly increase. Chances of precipitation (20-60%)
continue each day west of the Pecos River throughout the extended as
the mid-level trough over the western CONUS ejects multiple
shortwaves through the flow aloft. Additionally, PWATs remain
between the 75th and 90th percentiles as compared to the Sounding
Climatology on SPC's website. Showers and thunderstorms may stick
around each night as well. Additional Flood Watches may be warranted
west of the Pecos River to account for the abundant rainfall. Low
temperatures are forecast to continue being in the upper 60s to mid
70s each night. Thicknesses decrease Monday, dropping afternoon
highs a few degrees.
