New Mexico Weather Wildcard

New Mexico’s weather just got wilder — thunderstorms hammered the state Thursday, including a weak tornado in Los Lunas and dust storms before the rain. Lingering showers may linger into Friday, which itself brings another round of storms with damaging winds and hail. But brace for a dramatic weekend shift: hotter, drier, and windier conditions, especially in northwest New Mexico, with gusts over 40 mph and temps hitting the 90s to triple digits — spiking fire danger. Winds ease early next week, but starting Tuesday, the first real monsoon pattern rolls in, bringing afternoon storms to southeast New Mexico and pushing moisture westward by Wednesday.
