Models still holding to somewhat varying degrees to the eastward shift of the upper high and thus allowing greater amts of moisture to flow in from the s and se. The easterly wave coming slowly west and nwwrd across Mexico should help to some degree with this as well. With the increasing moisture lvls still being advertised decided to add locally heavy rain wording to the scattered/chance to numerous/likely pops areas starting today and for the aftns through Monday. Today may seem a bit too soon for that, but given the uptick of yesterday felt that we could get away with that as early as today. As previous day shifter indicated flash flood watches may be needed for portions of next week depending on antecedent heavy rainfall locations and presence of any

We Can See For Miles & Miles In NM. Just How Far Away Were Those Thunderstorms Anyway?  GRLevel2 Analyst Radar Archived Snapshot. My wife and I were headed north up US Hwy 285 to Roswell yesterday afternoon when I shot the above two photos. We were looking northwest-north at the Eddy and Chaves County line just north of Artesia at 3:56 PM MDT.  This morning I pulled up a snapshot archive of the Cannon AFB Dual Pol Doppler Radar from yesterday afternoon at 3:55 PM MDT. The thunderstorms stretching from our northwest-north were anywhere from 115-180 miles from us. We were first able to see the tops of these storms right after we left Carlsbad...placing them some 210+ miles north of us.  Finally Its Going To Cool Down Some - With T-Storms. GFS 500 MB Forecast. Valid @ 6 PM MDT Wednesday, July 27, 2016. Forecast models are showing that the oppressive upper level ridge of high pressure that has been plaguing the local area will shift to the north
