Good morning. New Mexico. I'm Michael Mosby.

Step outside and you're greeted by 35 degrees statewide. Crisp. Clean. Classic early March. But here's where it gets interesting.

Sunshine dominates today, but we've got a temperature split you can drive through. Down in Las Cruces, you're pushing 79 degrees this afternoon. Head north to Santa Fe and Taos. And Here comes the mid-60s. Albuquerque splits the difference at 75 with light southwest winds. Perfect weather for a lunchtime walk if you ask me.

But tonight, the plot thickens. An upper-level low spinning off Baja California is headed our way. After midnight, moisture streams north into southern New Mexico. Rain showers develop, with thunderstorms rumbling through the southwest mountains between 3 A.M. and 7 A.M. Northern areas stay mostly dry until late.

Tuesday, the storm marches right statewide. Rain becomes likely statewide, especially midday through evening. Southern New Mexico takes the wettest punch — up to a quarter inch possible around Silver City and Truth or Consequences. Snow stays confined to peaks above 8,500 feet. Temperatures cool behind the system — low 60s south, mid-60s north. Winds gust to 25 miles an hour Tuesday night as the storm exits east.

Wednesday brings clearing skies and a rebound into the low to mid-70s. Then we shift into an extended warm, dry pattern. Thursday through Sunday, expect sunny skies with highs climbing from the mid-70s into the low 80s statewide. Breezy afternoons return, especially east of the mountains.

Spring equinox is just 11 days away. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight each day.

Enjoy the sunshine today — tomorrow's a different story.

See you this afternoon.
