New Mexico weather has New Mexicans wondering what will happen when monsoon season comes around. Weather experts offer context on what can happen.
Days of severe storms in Clovis, bringing flash floods and baseball-sized hail. Meteorologists at the National Weather Service say it hasn't been an isolated thing."Compared to last year, the severe weather season has been more active," Michael Anand with National Weather Service in Albuquerque said.
Anand added it has left a mark, and local Eastern New Mexicans can agree.
"Next morning, we were surveying the rest of the damage," said Joe Felty, a Clovis native. "Cars were all beat up, windshields broken."The NWS said conditions like damaging hail, thunderstorms, and tornado watches are common in that area. "What we've had in eastern New Mexico the last few days that's not unusual for the month of May," Anand said. KOAT chief meteorologist Joe Diaz tells us Albuquerque should be expecting July to be the month of moisture. "That's typically the wettest month we see in the entire year in Albuquerque. 1.46 inches of rain on average," Diaz said. Flooding is also a concern, especially in the burn scars like Hermit's Peak Calf Canyon. And as higher-than-average snow packs in the mountains melt."And we still have a good snow pack up in the San Juan mountains and the Colorado that's still melting," Anand said. At the same time, temperatures may be higher than average. Diaz says we may notice the impact of that in July."It does look like we could be dryer than normal, then we're hoping for more normal conditions into the monsoon season," Diaz said.
The monsoon season lasts from June 15 to Sept. 30.
