Monsoon moisture surges into New Mexico this week

Another round of afternoon showers and storms developed across the northern half of New Mexico this afternoon and evening. Monday will be very similar to today, but a backdoor cold front will begin moving into northeast New Mexico which could cause some heavier rainfall amounts along the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The backdoor cold front will push south across New Mexico Monday night through Tuesday. This will increase the moisture in the atmosphere and bring in much cooler air by Wednesda
