WATCH: Moisture and cloud cover fans out across New Mexico as the remnants of Polo move into southern New Mexico. This moisture will continue fueling widespread rain and thunderstorms through tonight, with flash flooding still a major concern across parts of New Mexico. #NMwx

This El Niño is astonishing. The Niño 3.4 region just reached its warmest temperature on record, running warmer than even 2015. For NM, El Niño can favor a wetter winter. Not a guarantee, but a big signal heading into winter. #NMwx

💧 Elephant Butte Lake is up almost 5 feet thanks to the recent rain! The lake has gone from 1.4% full to 2.0% full in a month, with storage up nearly 12,000 acre-feet. It’s still extremely low, but more rain this week should add even more water. #NMwx

🍂 This weekend would be a great time to check out the fall colors in northern New Mexico! Aspens are already changing around Ski Santa Fe, with moderate to high color above ~8,000'. Peak is expected next week, but sunny, dry weather should make for a beautiful weekend. 🍁

Southern New Mexico is now inside the NHC forecast cone. Polo will weaken significantly over Mexico, but its moisture could still get pulled north into NM. This does NOT mean a hurricane will hit NM, but heavy rain and flash flooding will return early next week. #NMwx

Check out this funnel cloud near Stanley, NM today! This is a tropical funnel cloud, which can briefly develop in very moist, unstable air masses like what we have across NM today! These are usually weak, short-lived, & most never reach the ground. 📹 Jonathan Coy #NMwx

Take a look at the tropical moisture streaming north into New Mexico. Hurricane Polo may be over 1,000 miles away, but some of the moisture associated with the storm is being pulled north, helping to enhance this incredible surge of monsoon moisture across the state. #NMwx
