Monsoon Shifts Heat and Fire Risk | Albuquerque News

New Mexico’s monsoon madness is here — daily storms drenching western valleys but sparking wildfire risks near the Four Corners with dry lightning. By Wednesday, heat and dryness creep in statewide, though afternoon storms linger in mountains and northeast. Thursday-Friday sees drier air dominate central, northern, and western zones, while southern and eastern areas still get rain chances — and triple-digit heat hits Albuquerque. The weekend brings a heatwave with a twist: a strengthening monsoon high pulls in more moisture, boosting thunderstorm odds statewide Saturday-Sunday. Stay alert, stay hydrated, and watch those skies. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
