Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Thursday, July 17, 2025.The sky over Santa Fe is clearing up after yesterday’s storms, but flash flood warnings remain in effect for parts of northern New Mexico. Heavy rainfall this week has raised water levels quickly, and emergency crews continue monitoring conditions, especially in areas recently hit by wildfires. The New Mexico State Emergency Operations Center in Santa Fe was at the heart of regional efforts, even receiving backup from Tulsa’s police, who’ve been helping with logistics and emergency planning as storms move through. Locals are urged to be mindful around low-lying streets and arroyos, and to check the city’s alerts if you’re out on any of our beloved hiking trails.On a brighter note, Thursday means the weekend is in sight, so here’s a look at what’s going on. For music lovers, tomorrow night the Los Alamos Summer Concert Series features The Disclaimers from Albuquerque at Ashley Pond Park. It’s a perfect excuse for a short road trip—the show’s free and runs from 6 to 9 p.m., with food vendors, kids’ activities, and plenty of ways to support local nonprofits. If you prefer to stay in town, Santa Fe’s own music scene is hopping, with local acts playing at favorite haunts like the Second Street Brewery and Cowgirl BBQ tonight.For art aficionados, time is running out to visit Rendered Presence: Artistas de Nuevo México at the National Hispanic Cultural Center. This exhibit, featuring bold, figurative works from New Mexico talent, closes July 27. The Visual Art Museum is open through the weekend, so don’t wait if you’ve been meaning to see this celebrated show.Meanwhile, the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs’ Wonders on Wheels Mobile Museum continues its tour. This traveling showcase, “Eight Sites, One History,” explores the state’s deep roots from Indigenous history to Spanish settlement and is popping up at local libraries and museums through the end of July.In local civic life, conversations continue about how our region prepares for natural disasters, as experts and out-of-state partners underscore both the challenges and resilience of Santa Fe’s emergency response teams.And for those searching for meaning and science, Los Alamos hosts a special lecture next Tuesday on human evolution and extinction—perfect for lifelong learners who like their summer nights with a dose of discovery.That’s your scene for today—art, music, science, and the strength of community, all under our ever-dramatic New Mexico sky.This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency.
