Series Of Upper Level Storms Over The Next Week.
Our monsoonal upper-level ridge of high pressure was located over the Four-Corners Region this Sunday morning. It will break down by Wednesday as a strong short wave trough of low pressure at the mid-upper levels of the atmosphere drops southward out of the Gulf of Alaska and into the Pacific Northwest.
Southwesterly flow aloft will help keep us high and dry this upcoming week. A typical more fall-like pattern. Without the moisture until late next week maybe. A tropical storm is forecast by some of the models to develop south of the Baja Peninsula and move northward to the southern tip of the peninsula by next Friday. Whether or not its remnant moisture gets pulled northward and northeastward into New Mexico in a week to ten days is still questionable at this time.

Warming Back Up Next Week.
Our high temps across the southeastern plains will be in the 80's today into Tuesday. Wednesday we approach 90 again and by next weekend the upper 90's. Sorry summer hasn't completely given up just yet...it just won't be ridiculously hot.
The Ruidoso area will see the mid 70's today and Monday. Near 80 on Wednesday. And near 80 to the low 80's Thursday into the next weekend. The next real chance for t-storms will be next weekend.
The Cloudcroft area will see the mid 60's today into Tuesday. Then the upper 60's Wednesday and Thursday. Near 70 next Friday into the weekend with another chance for t-storms.How much rain could potentially fall will in part be dependent upon whether or not tropical moisture returns back into the state from the south and southwest.
Gulf Of Mexico May Have A Hurricane This Week.
Tropical Storm/Hurricane Francine
In The Gulf Of Mexico This Upcoming Week?
An area of disturbed weather (AL91) is located in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico this morning. It is forecast to slowly strengthen into a tropical depression in a couple of days and perhaps a tropical storm the first or middle of next week. Forecast models are indicating that hurricane could then develop off of the Texas Gulf Coast
Since the storm hasn't formed into a tropical storm yet the models are struggling with its future track and strength. Thinking as of this Sunday is that AL91 could develop into a hurricane and make landfall generally somewhere between Galveston and New Orleans around this coming Wednesday or Thursday.
