New Mexico Special Weather Statement - Moderate | Effective 06/08/2026 07:13
Mid level moisture is increasing in the atmosphere, and this will
lead to the development of high-based showers and thunderstorms
this afternoon into the evening across portions of western and
central New Mexico. Because of very dry air beneath the cloud
bases, much of the rainfall associated with these showers and
thunderstorms will evaporate before reaching the ground. This
evaporating rainfall, or virga, is prone to producing very abrupt
and erratic wind gusts beneath or near any shower or storm
