.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Friday night)
Issued at 146 PM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025

A similar weather pattern is in store throughout the short term
period. Showers and thunderstorms are forecasted to continue each
afternoon into the evening hours across the western zones of the
forecast area. This is due to a similar synoptic pattern from
previous days as an upper-level ridge sits over the eastern half
of the US, while shortwave troughs over the western half of the
US. Precipitable Water (PWAT) values continue to reach near the
climatological daily maximum indicating heavy rainfall is going to
be prevalent. Guidance also has these showers and storms training
in certain locations near the higher terrain. Given this
combination plus the ground being saturated, especially across the
western half of the forecast area, a Flood Watch has been
extended through Friday night for these areas. More widespread
coverage of precipitation is expected to be confined further to
the west as a weak mid-level ridge builds overhead Friday
afternoon. High temperatures tomorrow will remain in the mid 80s
to lower 90s across southeast New Mexico and the northwestern
Permian Basin, while areas across the central/eastern Permian
Basin into Stockton Plateau are forecasted to be in the mid 90s.
Friday night lows are anticipated to remain near to slightly above
normal for this time of year regionwide.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 146 PM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025

The extended forecast is about as climatological as it can get.
High pressure off to our east slowly builds back west over the
next few days and ultimately gets centered over the Four Corners
region of the western U.S. The high never gets settled over our
area enough to exert strong subsidence so temperatures will mostly
remain in the 90s with some 80s in the mountains. Moisture gets
pulled northward and continues the threat of afternoon showers
west of the Pecos River with isolated flash flooding a
possibility, especially in the mountains and at low water
crossings on area roads. Models show an upper disturbance moving
into West Texas and eastern New Mexico early next week increasing
rain chances for the Permian Basin.

VFR conditions will mainly prevail through the period. More isolated
to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon
through the early evening hours across most terminals. Heavy
rainfall associated with these showers and storms will bring
visibilities down to MVFR conditions briefly. Given the isolated
to scattered nature of this precipitation, PROB30s were
implemented for most except for CNM where confidence is higher for
showers/storms to occur.
