Calm Weather Ends as Rain and Mountain Snow Arrive
After a period of fairly calm weather across the region, changes are expected as rain and mountain snow begin to move in Sunday and Monday, according to the latest forecast. The recent calm was briefly interrupted by isolated showers in parts of western New Mexico Saturday evening.
Rain Develops in Four Corners and Southwest Colorado
Overnight and into Sunday morning, rain is expected to develop across the Four Corners area and southwest Colorado. Alongside this, snow will begin to accumulate in the higher elevations of the San Juan Mountains. These conditions are forecast to persist through Sunday afternoon, driven by an approaching cold front.
Rain Spreads Across New Mexico with Increased Flood Risk
Most of New Mexico will remain dry during Sunday morning. However, as the cold front moves across the state later in the day, rain chances will increase, particularly during the afternoon and evening. Heavier rainfall is possible in western and northern New Mexico. This brings continued concern for flooding and rising rivers, particularly in northwest New Mexico and southwest Colorado.
Stronger Cold Front Brings Additional Showers and Snow on Monday
Another, even stronger cold front is on track to move into New Mexico Monday morning. This front will bring more showers and mountain snow, particularly affecting northern New Mexico and southwest Colorado. Rainfall is expected to clear out of New Mexico by Monday afternoon, though some showers may linger in northeast New Mexico. In addition to precipitation, temperatures will drop further, and gusty winds will contribute to a colder feel throughout the area.
Forecast for the Rest of the Week: Cooler and Quieter Conditions
By Tuesday, the weather is expected to quiet down, though cool temperatures will persist for the remainder of the week. Residents are advised to stay updated on local forecasts, particularly in areas with a risk of flooding and rapidly changing weather conditions.
