🚨Four Corners area —keep an eye on the weather in northwest New Mexico today. Storms could bring rain rates up to 1.5” an hour, with local totals near 3”. That’s enough to cause flash flooding in canyons, arroyos, and burn scars.
A Flood Watch is in effect through 7pm. Stay weather-aware and safe!

If it looked a little hazy this morning, here’s why: storms last night helped push smoke up from northern Mexico. That settled into the Rio Grande Valley and dropped visibility.
It’s mostly cleared out now, but that’s what had things looking a bit milky earlier today. #nmwx

A landspout just SE of Carlsbad - just about 20 mins ago! No reports of injuries. A landspout is like a dust devil boosted by a thunderstorm — visually dramatic, but usually weak. Video courtesy of Zachery Mobley #nmwx #carlsbadnm

Follow-up on the widely shared Floyd, NM tornado (May 25):
Damage survey is in — rated EF-1 with peak winds near 90 mph. It snapped 30+ power poles, clipped a dairy, and mangled a farm sprinkler. Thankfully, it missed homes. No injuries. Photo: Bill Kardokus🌪️ #nmwx #FloydTornado #TornadoUpdate

Whew! A lot of action in some NM areas today. For instance, here's what our Roswell Skycam recorded during a severe warned storm this evening. Excuse the shakiness of the video but if you look at the top, you can see the storm rotating. A funnel appears briefly but never touches down. #nmwx

Tomorrow is going to be an INTENSE weather day! High wind and extreme fire risk will be accompanied by blinding dust storms and potential power outages. Take extreme caution if you need to venture out - or postpone if possible. #nmwx

Here's the Snow Moon rise tonight at Navajo Lake! Some North American tribes named it the Hungry Moon due to the scarce food sources and hard hunting conditions during mid-winter, while others named it Bear Moon, referring to bear cubs being born this time of year. #nmwx #snowmoon
