Dry and hot west, strong storms move to east New Mexico

New Mexico's weather will be split in half, with two very different weather stories across the eastern vs western parts of the state. Western New Mexico is beginning to dry out as weak high pressure build in from the southwest. This is bringing much drier air to the west of the Central Mountain Chain, keeping shower and storm potential low. Isolated weak storms and light sprinkles are possible west today, getting even drier into the late week.Eastern New Mexico will be much wetter as a dry line
