Monsoon Madness Hits New Mexico | Albuquerque News

Monsoon season is officially here in New Mexico, bringing much-needed rain to break the scorching heat wave. A stubborn high-pressure system that’s been baking the state since early this week is finally moving east, clearing the way for widespread thunderstorms starting Wednesday—especially in the west, central, and northern regions. Expect heavier downpours and even flash flood risks by Thursday as moisture from the south combines with a weak disturbance. Temperatures will cool to normal levels across most of the state, though the east may still feel the heat. Friday brings scattered storms across the board, with rain chances tapering off by Sunday.
