Tonight we will see isolated storms to our east and drier air settle in our region. Temperatures are in the high-80s which is below-to-near average for this time of year.

Nice weather for tonight with clear skies. A few storms possible later day Thursday in our far eastern counties of Hudspeth and Culberson. Storms will move east.

We will see another hot and dry weekend with temperatures remaining in the mid and upper 90s, climbing to near triple digits by Monday.

This weekend will be sunny and warm. Temps will be in the low to mid 90s. All of next week we will see added moisture surge in on easterly winds.

Easterly winds are now in place across the Borderland bringing in Gulf moisture providing us with fuel for developing some storms in the area.

We have an ABC-7 First Alert tonight as thunderstorms become more active this evening, with strong wind gusts, isolated pockets of flooding, and potential hail.

An unstable airmass persists across the area tonight. Showers and storms will begin to develop and move east through tonight and into the overnight hours Thursday.

Storms pounded the area Wednesday night. Las Cruces had heavy rain along with pea sized hail. Rainfall amounts were just over 1" in many areas in and around Las Cruces.

Enough moisture will be hang around the next few days to provide some clouds and an isolated storm chance. Most storms that develop are not expected to be severe.

There will be a few showers and storms around tonight with perhaps some gusty winds in and around some storms. I can't rule out some blowing dust and sand later tonight.
