Extreme Heat and Storms Forecasted for Albuquerque

After hitting 100°F for the first time this year, New Mexico is set to experience more triple-digit heat this week. Monsoon moisture is gradually making its way into the state, leading to the development of scattered storms on Monday. Burn scar flash flooding is possible in certain areas, along with strong winds and heavy rainfall. While spotty afternoon storm chances will persist in some parts of New Mexico, high pressure will continue to bring above-average heat, with temperatures soaring into the 90s and triple-digits across the lower elevations.
