Temperatures will stay in record territory on Friday, thanks to high pressure. We will finally see temperatures tapering off by early next week, once a Pacific cold front crosses the state on Sunday. Moisture will remain limited through early next week. Isolated storms will be possible in the northern mountains, Four Corners and the AZ state line on Friday. Similar storm activity is expected Saturday, but by Sunday, we could see a few storms in the central part of New Mexico, as moisture shifts east.
