Summer Heat Peaks with Storm Threat

Astronomical summer officially began this morning, bringing the longest day and shortest night of the year—with Albuquerque soaking up 14 hours and 31 minutes of daylight. Father’s Day delivered scorching heat, especially in Carlsbad at 108 degrees. But relief is on the way: a backdoor cold front moves in tonight, bringing breezy winds up to 40 mph and scattered storms to the far northeast. While most of the state stays hot with 90s and 100s, the northeast cools into the 80s. The monsoon high returns later this week, keeping temps triple digits across southern and central New Mexico, with scattered storms likely Tuesday through Friday—Thursday’s the peak. Don’t be surprised if Albuquerque hits 100 again by Tuesday. Summer’s here to stay. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
