Albuquerque could see patchy fog and low clouds Tuesday morning, with temperatures near 44 degrees overnight and calm-to-southwest winds, but the chill should fade quickly. Sunshine will push the city to around 69 degrees this afternoon, with no rain expected. The forecast stays calm and warm through midweek before a wetter pattern moves in late Thursday.

Sunny And Warm Through Wednesday

Tuesday and Wednesday will bring mostly sunny skies, with overnight lows near 44 and 45 degrees and highs around 69 and 71. Early northeast winds should ease, with the daytime breeze generally staying at 5 mph or less. According to the National Weather Service, Albuquerque's midweek outlook remains dry and mild.

Rain Chances Return Thursday Night

Thursday stays warm at around 72 degrees, though clouds will increase and a slight chance of showers arrives after midnight. Friday could bring a few morning showers before skies turn partly sunny, with a high near 71 and a 20% chance of rain. The odds rise Friday night, when showers and thunderstorms become possible.

Weekend Forecast Turns Wetter

Saturday looks mostly sunny and mild, with a high near 69, but the break may be brief. Rain showers are likely after midnight Saturday, followed by a cloudy Sunday with a 70% chance of showers and a high near 66. Monday brings a cooler high near 63 and a 20% shower chance.

Tuesday and Wednesday offer the cleanest window for outdoor errands and events, while anyone with weekend plans should keep rain gear close. Showers, slippery roads and breezy conditions are possible early next week, even as temperatures remain moderate for late October.
