Albuquerque's Friday, November 6, forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies, followed by a slight chance of showers, before temperatures climb toward 63 degrees, with a chance of rain showers later in the day.

Showers May Reach Albuquerque Friday Evening

The best chance for rain comes after 2 p.m. Friday, with the odds increasing into the early evening and reaching about 40% overall. Most locations that receive precipitation should get less than 0.25 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

That is a notable change from Thursday's outlook, which kept the better shower chances mostly outside the Albuquerque metro. The updated forecast calls for a chance of showers Friday night, while Albuquerque Valley's Saturday daytime precipitation probability drops to 5%.

Weekend Skies Clear Out Quickly

Saturday, November 7, should turn partly sunny with a high near 65 degrees and only a small chance of rain. Sunday looks dry and reaches about 66 degrees, with light winds setting up a much easier day for outdoor plans.

The warm, dry pattern continues through next week, with a gradual warming trend and temperatures generally near to slightly above normal. No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for the Albuquerque area.
