Albuquerque, NM – Soft golden light washes across the Sandia Mountains this Sunday morning, a calm start under clear New Mexico skies. After a stretch of unsettled fall patterns earlier this month, the region now enters a steady spell of mild, sunny weather. The National Weather Service reports calm conditions will dominate through Tuesday, with warm days and crisp, cool evenings across central New Mexico.
Today brings sunshine and highs near 77°F, with only a light afternoon breeze. Winds will stay gentle, shifting slightly south by evening. Skies remain clear tonight, and lows dip into the mid-40s — cool enough for a jacket or early heater use in valley neighborhoods.
Monday and Tuesday hold nearly identical conditions: bright skies, low humidity, and highs hovering between 73°F and 79°F. Winds will vary slightly from northwest to northeast, remaining under 15 mph. No rain is expected through midweek, and visibility stays excellent across the I-25 corridor and surrounding desert routes.
By late week, temperatures may ease a few degrees as a weak ridge begins to flatten, allowing a touch of cooler air into northern New Mexico. Still, the state remains locked in its classic fall rhythm — warm sun by day, cool desert air by night, and a slow hint of seasonal change ahead.
Residents planning outdoor work or late-evening drives can expect smooth, quiet weather through the weekend — a welcome calm before late-October’s next big shift.
