Albuquerque, NM – A streak of warm, sunny days is set to continue across Albuquerque, sending daytime temperatures soaring into the mid-80s through Saturday before a slight cool-down Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, Thursday and Friday will bring clear skies and highs of 81°F and 85°F, respectively, with south winds picking up to 10 to 15 mph in the afternoons. Nighttime lows will drop to the upper 40s and low 50s, offering mild evenings for Bernalillo and Sandoval counties.
Travelers on I-25 and I-40 should expect excellent visibility and dry roads, but afternoon breezes could create light crosswinds, especially on exposed stretches and overpasses. With temperatures climbing to 86°F by Saturday, residents are urged to stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activities during peak afternoon hours, and monitor pets and vehicles for heat exposure.
This period of early warmth is notable for late April, echoing similar stretches from recent years, but no significant weather hazards are expected. The next weather shift arrives Sunday, with highs easing to around 80°F and breezy, cooler nights ahead.
Sunny skies and mild conditions will dominate Albuquerque’s weather into early next week, with no advisories currently planned, but updates will follow if conditions change.
