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.

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.
