Much cooler and wetter weather is in store for the East Mountains over the weekend, especially Sunday. High pressure will bring a hot dry day on Friday. High pressure redevelops over the Pacific Northwest on Saturday. This will allow a series of backdoor cold fronts to move across New Mexico bring progressively cooler and wetter conditions.

It might not be the monsoon but it will be cooler and wetter all the same. It would not be surprising if a few places get more than an inch of rain on Sunday!
