Albuquerque, NM – A quiet Saturday will precede the season’s final burst of monsoon moisture expected to hit Albuquerque by Sunday night. Local residents should prepare for showers, thunderstorms, and potentially severe weather lasting into Monday.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Albuquerque office, storms will spread across central and western New Mexico Sunday through Tuesday.

By Monday, storms will spread eastward, leaving central New Mexico at risk for additional severe weather, with heavy rain rates expected along Albuquerque’s eastern border. NWS advises residents to secure outdoor objects, avoid flooded roads, and stay updated on weather alerts.
Tuesday will bring drier conditions, but there remains a risk of isolated thunderstorms. Residents should stay informed via weather.gov/abq for real-time updates.
