New Mexico starts the morning under a blanket of gray clouds, with Albuquerque sitting at 46 degrees and a light breeze drifting across the Rio Grande Valley. The air feels cool but not harsh, a classic mid-February setup before a bigger shift.
Skies gradually break for partial sunshine later today, pushing highs toward 67 degrees. Roads remain dry through the morning commute, but drivers should watch for changing conditions by the end of the week.
Thursday brings more sunshine and a high near 69 degrees. It will feel more like a spring tease than Winter, especially during the afternoon hours. Winds stay light, and outdoor plans should hold without issue.
Changes arrive Friday. Showers become likely after late morning, with an 80 percent chance of precipitation and highs near 61 degrees. Periods of rain could create slick stretches along I-25 and I-40. Plan extra travel time Friday afternoon and evening. Friday night stays unsettled, with additional showers and lows falling into the mid-30s.
Saturday trends drier, though a slight shower chance lingers early. Highs rebound to the low 60s under increasing sun. Sunday turns mostly sunny and warmer, near 66 degrees.
Looking ahead to early next week, temperatures climb again toward 70 degrees by Washington’s Birthday, reinforcing a broader warming trend across the central and southern U.S. over the next 6–10 days.
