Albuquerque’s warm Wednesday gives way to a cooler, more unsettled Thursday, with partly sunny skies turning stormier after noon. The high should reach about 74 degrees, but the bigger weather story arrives Thursday night, when storm chances rise to 60% and temperatures fall to around 55.
The National Weather Service forecast points to stormier conditions Thursday, with showers and thunderstorms becoming more likely Thursday night, bringing cloudy skies and the potential for heavier downpours in spots.
Storm Risk Builds Into Friday
Friday stays unsettled, with a high near 73 and a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms during the day. That chance rises to 70% Friday night, followed by likely showers Saturday, when Albuquerque may only reach 68 degrees under mostly cloudy skies.
Forecasters say the broader flash-flood risk is expected to spread eastward into central New Mexico late Thursday into Friday, while a few strong to severe storms could develop across central New Mexico. Residents should monitor updated warnings if storms begin lingering over the same areas.
Cooler, Drier Weather Returns Next Week
Sunday brings a final 30% chance of rain showers and a high near 67 before conditions begin to improve. Monday looks mostly sunny, with a high near 67.
