ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A ridge of high pressure has shifted into west Texas which means we are forecast to get the showers and cooler temperatures from that flow.

When that ridge of high pressure was over New Mexico, we had warm temperatures hovering around the upper-90s to the 100s. Now that it’s away from us, we may see more of a classic monsoon pattern over the next few days.

That pattern may show itself come drivetime Thursday in parts of New Mexico, like the Albuquerque metro.
