From showers to sunshine: What’s ahead for New Mexico’s weather

Rain will taper off in Albuquerque by around midnight while southern New Mexico sees more overnight rain and light high-mountain snow above 8,500 feet.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Rain will taper off in Albuquerque by around midnight while southern New Mexico sees more overnight rain and light high-mountain snow above 8,500 feet.

Rain is in the metro area and across southern New Mexico through the evening, while the Four Corners area and northern New Mexico will stay mainly dry tonight.

More rain and high-mountain snow is expected across southern New Mexico overnight. Snow levels will stay around 8,500 to 9,500 feet, so higher elevations could see light snow with little to no accumulation.

Saturday will bring another chance for rain and high-mountain snow in southern New Mexico, mainly during the morning and early afternoon. Northern New Mexico will stay dry, and Albuquerque should see highs in the 60s with some morning clouds.

Sunday outlook

By Sunday, most of the state will see mainly sunny skies. Southeast New Mexico could still get a few light rain showers, mainly around Lea and Eddy counties.

Most of next week looks sunny and dry with little change in high temperatures. Most of New Mexico will see highs mainly in the upper 50s and 60s, and wind will stay mostly light.

A weak front could brush northeast New Mexico Tuesday or early Wednesday and bring slightly cooler weather for a day or so. Another weak storm system could move closer from the west by next Friday or Saturday, with a small chance for a shower in western or southwestern New Mexico by next Friday or Friday night.
