IT’LL FEEL MORE LIKE FALL LATER THIS WEEK IN NEW MEXICO. SHAWN BENNETT, THE CHIEF METEOROLOGIST AT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN ALBUQUERQUE, SAYS AFTER WEEKS OF DRY CONDITIONS AND NEAR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES, THERE WILL BE A COOL-DOWN STARTING WEDNESDAY. HE SAYS TEMPS WILL FALL BACK INTO THE 60S FOR HIGHS AND WE’LL FINALLY GET CHANCES FOR RAIN.
BENNETT SAYS RAIN CHANCES PICK UP ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
THE MOISTURE IS BADLY NEEDED. FOR THE YEAR, ALBUQUERQUE IS MORE THAN THREE INCHES BELOW NORMAL FOR PRECIPITATION.
