Albuquerque, NM – Residents across New Mexico can expect mild, sunny weather to continue Saturday, offering calm conditions before an anticipated Christmas Day storm. Daytime highs are expected to hover around 60 degrees in Albuquerque, while breezy conditions develop in the northeast.

According to the National Weather Service, Saturday’s forecast includes mostly sunny skies, with calm winds across most of the region. Northeast areas, including Raton Pass, may experience gusty breezes. Travelers are encouraged to monitor conditions in those areas, especially on major roadways like I-25, where visibility could be impacted.

Looking ahead, tranquil weather is expected to hold through Sunday and Christmas Eve, with Albuquerque seeing highs in the low 60s and lows near freezing. However, the forecast shifts Christmas Day, as a winter storm brings light snow to northern mountains and gusty winds to central and southern areas. Snowfall amounts are expected to remain modest, with accumulations of 1–3 inches primarily in higher elevations.

Residents should prepare for potentially hazardous travel conditions in mountain passes and ensure vehicles are equipped for winter driving. Cooler temperatures will follow the storm, with highs in Albuquerque dropping to the mid-50s by Thursday.
