THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER IS OUT WITH A NEW REPORT, SHOWING NEW MEXICO WILL LIKELY SEE ABOVE NORMAL RAINFALL IN JULY, AUGUST, AND SEPTEMBER…WHEN MONSOON SEASON HITS. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST CHUCK JONES SAYS THAT’S WELCOME NEWS, GIVEN THE DROUGHT CONDITIONS WE’VE BEEN IN FOR MONTHS.
JONES SAYS A GOOD MONSOON SEASON WILL ONLY HELP US IN THE SHORT TERM. HE SAYS SOME PARTS OF THE STATE GET HALF THEIR YEARLY PRECIPITATION DURING MONSOON SEASON.
