THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN ALBUQUERQUE SAYS THERE ARE EARLY INDICATIONS THAT NEW MEXICO COULD BEGIN SEEING A MONSOON-LIKE PATTERN BY THE COMING WEEK, BRINGING MUCH-NEEDED MOISTURE TO THE STATE. METEOROLOGIST JASON FRAZIER SAYS THE MONSOON PATTERN NORMALLY BRINGS IN RAIN FROM MEXICO. HE SAYS THAT'S PRETTY TYPICAL AS THE FLOW TURNS MORE SOUTHERLY.
ALBUQUERQUE OFTEN GETS 40-PERCENT OF ITS ANNUAL PRECIPITATION FROM MONSOON SEASON. FRAZIER SAYS THIS YEAR'S RAINS ARE EXPECTED TO BE AVERAGE TO ABOVE AVERAGE.
