New Mexico weather alert: Heavy rain and flooding expected

New Mexico is expected to experience increasing chances of rain throughout the week, with the highest probability of heavy rainfall occurring on Wednesday and Thursday. This weather pattern brings a heightened risk of minor street flooding in various parts of the state.

The shift in weather is linked to moisture from Tropical Storm Trudy in the eastern Pacific, which is currently a Category 2 hurricane. While the storm is expected to weaken later in the week, its moisture will contribute to the active weather pattern. Conditions are projected to remain active through Friday, with drier weather potentially returning by Saturday or Sunday.
