Back door cold front brings gusty winds overnight
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – A backdoor cold front will continue to move through eastern New Mexico overnight. This front will spill into the Rio Grande Valley tonight, bringing a gusty east wind into the Albuquerque Metro by midnight Friday morning. Winds will die down by 7 AM Friday though. Showers and storms will return Friday through Sunday afternoons across eastern New Mexico behind the backdoor front. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible with these storms, including overburn scar areas in both the Sacramento and Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Another backdoor cold front will move through New Mexico Sunday night, and this one will bring a much stronger east wind into the Albuquerque Metro through Monday morning. However, it will also bring even more moisture across the state. This will set the stage for more isolated afternoon storm chances through the middle of next week.
