Moisture Off to the East


The air mass to the east of the Continental Divide today has enough low-level moisture available to fuel some thunderstorms in New Mexico - see current visible satellite image at top. The NAM forecasts the moisture to increase some toward the west at middle-levels during next two days - this due to the influence of south to southeasterly winds associated with a weak disturbance moving slowly into northwestern Mexico. The NAM forecast of 24-hour precipitation ending at 5 pm MST on the 28th of May is shown in lower image. So there is some hope for a bit of a change from the deathly clear skies of the last few days.
