It is amazing at how fast the weather pattern in the New Mexico's northwest changed. It was almost like a flick of a switch.
A couple of weeks ago, we were still seeing 80° temperatures with occasional 90° temperatures. Now, we are down into the 70s during the say with 40° temperatures, and occasion dips down into the 30s. Last year, the first snow came on October 15.
According to the National Weather Service, the south Southwest is getting some major hazardous weather:
A variety of hazards are expected in the West... Heavy rain, strong storms and flooding is expected to persist in Arizona and spread into southern New Mexico and west Texas, while a combination of red flag warnings and heat advisories are likely in portions of California.Jack Rabbit Trading Post posted some interesting photos on Facebook of the rainfall they're getting in Arizona. The mountains near Flagstaff received snow in the upper elevations, according to photos they posted.
It rained for most of the day yesterday, which is what was needed here. Today's going to be dry and mostly sunny. We should see 71° today.
Thunderstorms may be in store for the area beginning tomorrow.
I will be heading to Cool Springs, Arizona this weekend for the fall clampout of the Lost Dutchman Chapter No. 5917 + 2, E Clampus Vitus. We should have pleasant weather for it.
