How Hot Has This Summer Been So Far?
Ruidoso, New Mexico.
Looking West At Sierra Blanca Peak.
Granted it has been a hot summer so far (June & July). But not nearly as hot as you might think when you look at the local long-range historical climate records. Not a single National Weather Service (NWS) Climate Co-Op Station or Airport ASOS/AWOS Station, has recorded a daily high temperature so far this summer that has made it into the top 30 all-time high-temperature list. We still have a lot of summer left so it is possible that some of the high temperatures listed below may be exceeded.
The Roswell Airport ASOS broke their previous daily record high temperature of 105F set on July 4th in 2016 with a high this 4th of July of 107F. This makes it the hottest 4th of July temperature ever recorded in Roswell.
Listed below are some of the local official highest daily temperatures reached so far this year.

My Substack Post -
Ruidoso, New Mexico Forest Fires - Most Destructive In New Mexico's History!
(12:21 PM MDT Tuesday, June 18, 2024).
Tropical Storm Forming.
A disturbance in the Bay of Campeche is forecast to strengthen and develop into a Tropical Storm within 24-hours. Then move generally to the northwest before moving more westward into Mexico south of, or near Brownsville, Texas Wednesday night into Thursday..
The remnant moisture from this Tropical Storm is forecast to get pulled northwestward into West Texas and New Mexico late this week into the weekend.
Cold Front Sags South Into The State.
A backdoor cold will slide southward and westward into the eastern plains tonight into Wednesday, and the southeastern plains Wednesday afternoon and evening. Low level easterly to southeasterly upslope from the Gulf of Mexico will increase surface moisture across much of the state tonight into Thursday. Tropical moisture will increase across the southern one half of the state Thursday into the weekend.
Increasing Chances For T-Storms/Some Severe & Local Flash Flooding.
As tropical moisture increases across the southern one of the state Thursday onward our chances for significant rainfall will also increase. I'm taking a very conservative approach at this time on how much rain will fall and where. Forecast models haven't honed in on total rainfall amounts yet and thus they may change over the next couple of days. Given that this is a tropical system that will be the main driver of our heavy rainfall they tend to underestimate some storms. So it is entirely possible that heavy rain totals may fall in some locations than are currently indicated. Be on the alert for changing local forecasts and stay up to date via your favorite local weather source.
Widespread moderate to heavy rainfall totals may range from .50" to 2.00" over many areas of southeastern New Mexico, parts of southern New Mexico, and the Sacramento mountains. Some areas of the central mountain chain, the northern mountains, and northeastern plains may see up to 1" to 3" of rain by the weekend.
A few severe t-storms are possible this afternoon and evening and again on Wednesday for northeastern and eastern New Mexico. Maybe parts of southeastern New Mexico on Wednesday afternoon and evening.
Flash Flooding A Huge Concern In Ruidoso!
With lots of tropical moisture headed our way there is great concern in the Ruidoso area for flash flooding in the burn scar areas. And across other burn scar areas of the state but not limited just to those areas. Anyone that gets t-storms and or heavy rain, especially with repeat or training storms over the same locations or areas, will have to be on the lookout for this possibility Wednesday into the weekend.
I know everyone wants rain badly including me but I am worried about the flash flood potential in the Ruidoso and nearby areas. Heavy or very heavy rains would have the potential to cause life threatening and devastating flash flooding. Especially in and around the burn scar areas. Flash Flood Watches/Warnings may be issued for parts of the state by our local National Weather Service Offices.
Much Cooler Thursday & Friday!
With the increase in clouds, humidity, t-storms and rain, it will be much cooler on Thursday with highs across the southeastern plains likely not making it out of the 70's. The low to mid 90's are forecast for Wednesday and near 80 on Friday. A much welcome change for sure. Ii topped out at 109F here at our home in Carlsbad on Monday...my highest so far this summer.

Heavy Rains & Flash Flooding Yesterday Into This Morning.
Flooded Field & Tractor.
In Atoka 4 Miles South Of Artesia.
Thunderstorms developed first in a line from northeast of Roswell, southward to east of Artesia and Carlsbad Sunday afternoon. It then congealed into a large complex that moved from southeast to northwest across southeastern New Mexico. Additional thunderstorms developed over other parts of the state overnight that continued into this morning.
Locally heavy rainfall fell in some locations. My brother recorded 2.30" at his ranch in Lakewood. A personal weather station (PWS) in Lakewood recorded 1.64". An automated weather station in Lakewood recorded 1.44". A personal weather station (PWS) at the KOA Campground in Seven Rivers recorded 1.12". The Carlsbad Airport ASOS recorded 1.00". Here at our home in NW Carlsbad, I recorded .67". My family recorded .95" in Atoka south of Artesia.
An automated weather station in Crossroads north of Tatum recorded 2.51". Several reports of totals between 1.50" and 2.50" were noted across parts of east-central New Mexico, and the northern mountains.
I observed flooding yesterday afternoon on some streets in Carlsbad and flash flooding near normally dry Rocky Arroyo, and the north branch of the normally dry Seven Rivers arroyo. Bar ditch and field flooding overflowed onto US Hwy 285 near this location also. Radar estimates indicate that 2"+ of rainfall may have occurred in this area. Pictures and videos will be published at a later date. This morning a public report of flash flooding on normally dry Walnut arroyo just north of the Eddy/Chaves County line was published on Social Media. Road closures were reported in the Cottonwood area north of Artesia by the Eddy County Emergency Office Facebook page.
Unfortunately, one person drowned in an arroyo in Albuquerque with three rescues reported. new Mexico has a long history of flash flood deaths. With some of the highest historical fatalities occurring in southeastern New Mexico in Eddy and Chaves Counties. It is not uncommon for locally heavy thunderstorms to dump heavy rainfall in short periods of time which often leads to localized flash flooding. This occurs even in the midst of droughts.
Additional scattered thunderstorms with locally heavy rainfall may once again produce localized flash flooding today into Tuesday across parts of the state. A few thunderstorms may become severe also. Starting Wednesday we are forecast to dry up and go back into the oven heatwise.

Scattered T-Storms Today Into Monday Night - Some Possibly Severe!

A Haboob (large duststorm) was apparently produced by outflow winds from nearby decaying thunderstorms in the Roswell area yesterday afternoon. A measured peak wind gust of 66 mph was clocked at the Roswell Industrial Air Center (ASOS) Roswell Industrial Air Center (ASOS) at 3:54 PM MDT Saturday afternoon.
Multiple vehicles were reported to be involved in several collisions during the near-zero visibility on U.S. Hwy 285 between Roswell and Artesia. On US Hwy 285 and Ojbwa Rd, and US Hwy 285 and Orchard Park Rd, as well as on St Hwy 2.
Due to the ongoing severe to extreme drought conditions locally this area has been prone to severe dust storms this year. This area and others will continue to be impacted buy these localized blinding dust storms during high wind events until sufficient rainfall is received to allow the native grasses to recover and grow back.

Scattered T-Storms Some Severe Today Into Monday.
A cold front will sag southward through the eastern and southeastern plains this afternoon into Monday. Outflow boundaries from yesterday's crop of thunderstorms, and today's, along with an approaching upper-level disturbance will enhance the chances for scattered thunderstorms across much of the area today into Monday night.
The Roswell area is only forecast to reach the low 90's today and the mid-80s tomorrow behind the front. The Carlsbad area should see the highs this afternoon around 101F and near 90 on Monday. The Hobbs area near 100F today and the mid-80's on Monday.
Across the Sacramento mountains highs today and Monday should range from near 80F in the Ruidoso area to the mid-70's in the Cloudcroft area.
Across the southeastern plains, we have a 30% to 50% of seeing measurable rainfall today into Monday night.
The Sacramento mountains have a 30% to 60% chance of getting wet today into Monday night.
Thunderstorms are forecast to develop over the mountains and adjacent plains and congeal into an MCS (Mesoscale Convective System) late this afternoon and evening. Locally heavy rainfall may produce localized flash flooding in some areas. Of concern is the burn scar areas in the mountains and over the eastern plains.
Some of these thunderstorms may become severe and also produce large hail, damaging thunderstorm wind gusts in excess of 60 mph, and frequent cloud-to-ground lightning. Localized haboobs, or large duststorms that will have the potential to suddenly drop the visibility down to near zero may also be associated with some of these thunderstorms.
Starting this coming Tuesday our chances for thunderstorms dwindle as we heat back up and return to the oven. Forecast highs across southeastern New Mexico Tuesday into next Weekend generally range from 100F to 106F. Long-range forecasts offer little hope for relief with more of the same.
