Albuquerque is waking up to clear skies and Thursday-morning lows around 35 to 39 degrees, with a sunny afternoon headed toward 64 degrees. The quiet setup should hold through most of the day, with no rain expected in Thursday’s point forecast.

According to the National Weather Service, Thursday’s high is forecast in the low 60s. Thursday night is forecast to have a low around 35.

Friday Clouds Bring A Small Shower Chance

Friday is forecast to be mostly cloudy, with a high near 64. Low-end regional rain chances are possible late Friday into Saturday.

The better chance for showers shifts toward southwestern and southeastern New Mexico from Friday afternoon into Saturday. Albuquerque has no active watches, warnings or advisories, and the city’s rain chances remain limited.

Sunny Weekend Keeps The Mild Stretch Going

Saturday looks sunny and mild near 66, followed by a Sunday high forecast near 66 or 67. Overnight lows stay chilly, around 36 Saturday night and 38 Sunday night, so early outings will still need a jacket even as afternoons warm.

The mild stretch continues into next week, with highs near 67 Monday and possibly Tuesday. Temperatures are expected to stay within a few degrees of normal through Tuesday. Low-end rain chances are possible late Friday into Saturday, followed by generally drier conditions for errands, patio time and outdoor plans.
