Albuquerque is getting the kind of midweek weather that makes the calendar feel briefly optional: mostly sunny skies Wednesday, a high around 71, and little wind. The catch is waiting at the edge of Halloween weekend, with rain and thunderstorms becoming more likely Friday night and a much wetter Sunday on tap.
Two Warm Days Before Clouds Move In
Wednesday is expected to be mostly sunny, with temperatures climbing from the mid-40s in the morning to around 71 later in the day. The National Weather Service expects light winds and no rain, followed by a partly cloudy night with a low around 45.
Thursday will reach about 72 degrees as clouds increase. Clouds increase Thursday night, with a slight chance of showers after midnight.
Halloween Looks Fine Until The Overnight Hours
Friday brings a modest shift, with a few morning showers possible before skies turn partly sunny and the high reaches near 71. Showers and thunderstorms become possible Friday night.
Saturday’s daytime forecast still looks workable for Halloween plans, with a high near 69 and mostly sunny skies. The latest outlook, building on Hoodline’s earlier forecast, puts the more serious rain concern after midnight, when showers become likely.
Sunday Is The Wettest Day
Sunday is currently the week’s rainiest day for Albuquerque, with a 70% chance of showers and a high near 66. Rain remains likely Sunday night.
Monday brings a cooler finish, with a 20% chance of rain showers.
No Albuquerque Advisories Right Now
The current forecast lists no active watches, warnings or advisories for Albuquerque. Still, anyone with weekend outdoor plans should keep a jacket and rain gear nearby, particularly for late Friday, Saturday night and Sunday.
