Albuquerque is waking up to clear skies and a brisk start Tuesday, with temperatures around 36 degrees before a sunny afternoon. The city should climb to near 63 degrees. No rain is expected, and the dry pattern is set to stick around.

Sunny Tuesday Follows A Cool Start

Winds are expected to be lighter Tuesday. According to the National Weather Service, skies will stay mostly sunny with no meaningful chance of precipitation in Albuquerque.

Some patchy fog or freezing fog may develop around the Northwest Highlands, Mount Taylor, and the Sandia and Manzano mountains near sunrise. Drivers heading into higher terrain could encounter brief visibility reductions, and freezing fog may leave isolated slick spots on bridges or overpasses in affected areas.

Warm, Dry Weather Holds Through The Weekend

Wednesday looks mostly sunny, with a high in the mid-60s. Thursday will be cooler at about 63, followed by highs in the lower 60s Friday through Sunday.

Overnight lows will remain chilly, generally ranging from the low to upper 30s. Monday is forecast mostly clear with a high in the mid-60s, while rain chances in Albuquerque remain near zero through the weekend.

No active weather alerts are listed for the Albuquerque forecast area. The main planning note for the week is the temperature swing: light layers for afternoons, and a warmer jacket for early mornings and evenings.
