Now
Showers and thunderstorms will be slow to develop but look for some isolated development along the east slopes of the Manzano Mountains as well as over the sacramentos through mid afternoon. Due to the slow moving nature to the cells...rainfall amounts will range between a tenth to six tenths. Occasional cloud to ground lightning and gusts up to 35 mph will also be associated with some of the stronger storms through 3 PM.
