(Tomorrow through Monday) Issued at 215 PM CDT Mon Jun 10 2024 The next several days will feature only minimal rain chances. A weak mid level low presently located over eastern NM is forecast to drop southeast over the next couple of days, with influence limited to some mid and high clouds as precip chances remain focused to our southwest. By mid week the surface high will shift east as ridging aloft strengthens over our region, with temperatures and humidity responding accordingly. Another weak wave will slide across the northwest side of the ridge by the weekend, but impacts likely to remain north and west. Next chance of showers and thunderstorms looks to be at the end of this forecast period as weak wave lifts out of the Gulf of Mexico early next week.
