Severe Weather Threatens Eastern New Mexico

Eastern New Mexico braces for wild weather as a powerful cold front unleashes 45 mph winds Thursday night, peaking in Tijeras Canyon and foothills east of Albuquerque. Friday brings severe thunderstorms—especially over northeast terrain—with hail up to quarter-size, 60+ mph gusts, lightning, and heavy downpours. Flash flood risk remains low statewide but elevated near burn scars like Ruidoso. Western New Mexico stays hot and dry with minimal rain chances. Stay alert if you’re in the east.
