A pattern change sets up early next week as a stronger cold front moves across the state. This will bring back chances for precipitation in the northern mountains and cooler temperatures. A storm system sitting to our northwest will help to bring in upper level moisture next week, increasing cloud cover, and keeping chances for rain and mountains snow in place for parts of eastern and northern New Mexico.
