Albuquerque starts Monday with mostly clear skies and temperatures near 43 degrees, but a quick warm-up is on the way. Sunshine should push the city to about 67 degrees this afternoon, with light winds and no rain expected in the metro area.
Sunny Stretch Takes Over
Monday night stays mostly clear, with a low around 44 degrees. Tuesday should be sunny and near 70, while Wednesday brings mostly sunny skies and a high around 71.
Rain Chances Return Late Week
Thursday brings increasing showers over southern areas, with showers and storms increasing across the forecast area Friday and Friday night. Showers are likely Saturday night into Sunday, when the high should reach about 66 degrees.
Fog And Regional Flooding Remain Concerns
Patchy fog and widespread low clouds were forecast across eastern New Mexico Sunday, October 25, through Sunday night. The National Weather Service says river flooding will continue in parts of central and northern New Mexico, although no watches or warnings are posted for Albuquerque's forecast point.
People heading into the mountains should also keep an eye on conditions Friday and Friday night, as the highest peaks over 10,000 feet could receive a few inches of snow. For Albuquerque itself, the best outdoor window arrives Monday through Thursday before the wetter pattern settles in.
