Rain chances increase Friday in New Mexico

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Friday is starting dry but we could see showers and a few thunderstorms develop across New Mexico this afternoon.

Most of the rain will be in southern New Mexico. We could see showers near the Albuquerque metro Friday night and Saturday at times. We’re not expecting flooding or severe weather. Expect highs in the 60s, upper-50s for Saturday.

Some of the northern mountains could see up to about 3-6 inches in of snow in some ski resorts this weekend. Maybe the top of the Sandias gets an inch. The Lobos game is likely dry and chilly, with any showers mainly before the game.

Sunday and Monday should be dry and sunny to partly cloudy. 

Another weak storm system could bring some light rain and mountain snow mainly northern New Mexico and the Four Corners late-Tuesday and early-Wednesday. We’ll have to watch out for possibly bigger rain and snow totals next Friday and Saturday.

Meteorologist Alan Shoemaker shares all the details in his full forecast in the video above.
