Pleasant but breezy for Mother’s Day, then record-challenging heat by Tuesday.

Advertisement ✕ OLGA, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT RECORD CHALLENGING TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK. YES, THINGS ARE GOING TO FEEL LIKE WE'RE GOING FROM SPRING TO SUMMER BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOME HEAT INDEX CONCERNS AS WELL. PRETTY UNUSUAL FOR THIS TIME OF MAY. CURRENT SITUATION IS NOT SO BAD. THERE ARE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO. ALL OF THAT IS PULLING OUT. WE'RE GOING TO QUIET DOWN OVERNIGHT AND EVEN CLEAR OUT SOME AS WE MOVE INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY. WE'RE GOING TO WATCH THESE HIGH TEMPERATURES RAMP UP. AND A LOT OF THEM ARE VERY CLOSE TO RECORDS, ESPECIALLY BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON, TUESDAY EVENING, AND THEN LATER ON IN THE WEEK, BY ABOUT WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY, SOME OF US ARE GOING TO SEE SOME MINIMAL RAIN CHANCES. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO HELP US OUT WITH THE DROUGHT. HERE WE ARE LOOKING AT WHERE WE HAVE A POSSIBILITY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING FOR SEE SOME OF THESE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. MAYBE AN ISOLATED STORM, A POSSIBILITY ACROSS THE SOUTH AND ACROSS THE EAST. BUT SO FAR WE ARE DOING PRETTY GOOD TEMPERATURE WISE. WE MADE IT INTO THE LOWER 80S AT THE SUNPORT THIS AFTERNOON. MIDDLE AND UPPER 80S FROM SOCORRO DOWN TO THE SOUTH. AND YES, SOME 90S POPPED IN TODAY FOR LORDSBURG AND FOR DEMING. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR TREND OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. EVENING TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO DROP AFTER SUNSET, BUT FOR NOW, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A BRISK BREEZE IN THE AIR. WE HAVE A FEW OF THESE CLOUDS. HIGH ELEVATION RAIN IS BEGINNING TO MOVE ON OUT, BUT QUIETING DOWN WILL BE THE ORDER OF THINGS EARLY IN THE MORNING. RIGHT NOW IT IS A BEAUTIFUL EVENING IN SILVER CITY. STILL A LOT OF FOLKS OUT AND ABOUT ENJOYING THEIR EVENING ON MOTHER'S DAY 86 DEGREES, FAIR WEATHER, CLOUDS, NO RAIN, AND A GENTLE WIND OUT OF THE SOUTH SOUTHEAST. CURRENT TEMPERATURES, AS I MENTIONED, ARE GOING TO PLUMMET AFTER SUNSET. WE'RE ALREADY SEEING THAT COOLING OFF TOWARD THE NORTH AND THE EAST. CLAYTON DOWN TO 57 DEGREES 59 FOR LAS VEGAS. THIS IS WHERE WE'RE STILL SEEING SOME OF THOSE SPOTTY SHOWERS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. DEFINITELY CLEARING OUT. NOTICE HOW THE CLOUDS BEGIN TO MOVE EAST, AND THEN HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO SET UP EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. IT'S GOING TO ANCHOR ITSELF IN AND AROUND OUR REGION FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, KEEPING US QUIET AND CALM AS WE MOVE INTO OUR MONDAY FORECAST. BY THE AFTERNOON AND MONDAY, WE ARE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES AGAIN, WELL ABOVE AVERAGE INTO THE 80S FOR ALBUQUERQUE AND 70S FOR MUCH OF THE NORTHERN TIER. LONG TERM FORECAST IS LOOKING PRETTY WARM FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, BUT I THINK TUESDAY IS GOING TO BE THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE WEEK FOR MANY OF US. AND THESE ARE OUR TWO TUESDAY FORECAST TEMPERATURES COMPARED TO WHERE THOSE STANDING RECORDS ARE. AND YEP, IT IS DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY TO SEE SOME OF THESE RECORDS GO BY THE WAYSIDE. BUT WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT HEAT WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT THE HEAT INDEX. BY 3:00 ON TUESDAY, IT'S GOING TO BE FEELING LIKE 85 DEGREES IN THE DOWNTOWN REGION. WE'LL GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK OVERNIGHT, BUT WHEN WE MOVE INTO WEDNESDAY, ANOTHER HIGH HEAT INDEX DAY. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE PREPARED FOR THAT RAIN. POSSIBILITIES ON WEDNESDAY PRETTY SLIGHT, BUT SOME OF US COULD SEE SOME MUCH NEEDED RAIN FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ALL OF THIS MOVES OUT BY ABOUT MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR CHANCES HERE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO. NOT VERY ROBUST FOR THAT WEDNESDAY RAIN, BUT KEEP IN MIND A SPOT SHOWER IS POSSIBLE. FOUR CORNERS REGION YOU ARE HEADED INTO THE 90S YET UPPER 80S LOWER 90S FOR BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY FOR FARMINGTON. WE'RE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD FOR SILVER CITY. WELL, WE WILL SEE MODERATE MORNING LOWS IN THE 50S. THOSE DAYTIME HIGHS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO TREND IN THE UPPER 80S 90S MAKING A COMEBACK. EVEN A SHOT AT 99 DEGREES FOR ROSWELL. BY THE TIME WE MOVE TO FRIDAY. AND NOT A BAD STRETCH FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS IN AND AROUND LAS VEGAS, RATON AND RED RIVER, WE WILL BRING SOME CLOUDS IN BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, BUT AGAIN, THESE RAIN OPPORTUNITIES ARE VERY, VERY SLIGHT. SANTA FE, YOU HANG OUT IN THE 80S FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK WITH VERY MINIMAL RAIN CHANCES, AND TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A NICE WARM ONE. SO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE PREPARED FOR THAT SEVEN DAY FORECA Updated: 7:16 PM MDT May 10, 2026 Get set for summer-like highs. Records could break this week. Warming up again on Monday; Tuesday could be the hottest day of the week. Updated: 7:16 PM MDT May 10, 2026 We are starting off the work week with generally mild morning temperatures. High pressure makes an entrance and stays for a while. We'll see high temperatures across the Albuquerque metro push into the upper 80s today; upper 70s for Santa Fe. Enjoy this quiet stretch. Sky conditions remain clear, but mild overnight. Tuesday could be the hottest day of the week with record-challenging highs. Winds could become gusty Wednesday afternoon with a slight chance for late-day showers and storms. Infinite Scroll Enabled

OLGA, WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW TONIGHT AS WE PLAN OUT OUR DAY TOMORROW? IT'S GOING TO BE MORE OF THE SAME. WE SAW SOME GUSTY WINDS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, AND WE'LL CONTINUE THAT THIS EVENING. CHECK OUT THE NUMBERS THOUGH. 33 FOR RESERVE. 36 RIO RUIDOSO 37 IN AND AROUND TUCUMCARI AND SANTA ROSA AROUND THE EASTERN END OF I-40. SO THERE ARE SOME POCKETS OF REALLY GUSTY WINDS. THIS IS DEFINITELY GOING TO CARRY US TILL ABOUT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WE'LL GET A BIT OF A LULL EARLY TOMORROW MORNING, BUT THEN WE'LL DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. AND THAT COULD BE PROBLEMATIC IN AND AROUND THAT. SEVEN CABINS FIRE AREA. THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS KEEPS OUR WINDS ABOVE 30MPH UNTIL ABOUT 8:00 TONIGHT, AND THEN SOME GUSTS WILL DEFINITELY BE OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL HOURS. I WANTED TO TAKE YOU HOUR TO HOUR WITH THE SMOKE FORECAST IN AND AROUND THAT SEVEN CABINS FIRE. HERE WE ARE AT 5:00 THIS EVENING, STOPPING AT AROUND 8:00 TONIGHT. THERE WILL BE SOME IMPACTS IN THE PLUME OF THAT BLOWING SMOKE. AND THEN A LITTLE BIT OF A LULL OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, SOME REMNANTS OF SMOKE AS YOU WAKE UP TOMORROW MORNING, 8:00 AND 9:00. AND THEN TOMORROW AFTERNOON TO TOMORROW EVENING, THIS FLARES UP ONCE AGAIN AS THOSE WINDS REALLY START TO RAMP UP. WE'RE EXPECTING IT TO FAN THE FLAMES OF THOSE FIRES. SO THINGS WILL BE DIFFICULT IN THAT AREA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. AND THEN A WIND SHIFT WILL CARRY SOME OF THAT SMOKE DOWN TOWARD THE SOUTH. BY THE TIME WE GET TO MONDAY EVENING AND TUESDAY. RED FLAG WARNINGS. WE HAVE SOME FOR TONIGHT THAT ARE ABOUT TO EXPIRE AT 8:00, BUT WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN FOR THE MONDAY TIME FRAME, SO BE PREPARED FOR POSSIBILITY OF SOME HIGH HEAT TOMORROW. AND COUPLED WITH THAT DRY TERRAIN AND LOW DEW POINTS, ANY SPARK COULD EASILY GET OUT OF CONTROL. WE ARE ENJOYING A LOT OF BLUE SKY IN SILVER CITY. THERE ARE A FEW PASSING CLOUDS, BUT THOSE SUSTAINED WINDS ABOVE 20MPH GUSTING CLOSE TO 30. THAT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE THE CASE AS WE MAKE IT TO THE 8:00 HOUR. CURRENT TEMPERATURES ARE WARM OUT TOWARD THE EAST. WE'RE IN THE 90S HERE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO. WE'RE GOING TO HANG OUT IN THE 80S UNTIL SUNSET. AND THEN WE'LL SEE A NICE, COMFORTABLE COOL DOWN OVERNIGHT. HERE'S THE FOCUS OF OUR NEXT CONCERN. WE ARE GOING FROM TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING BY ABOUT 7:00. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH EFFECTS FROM THAT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN COLORADO. HIGH ELEVATIONS IN AND AROUND DURANGO AND CORTEZ COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SPOTTY SHOWER OR LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AT THE HIGHEST PEAKS. BUT FOR THE MOST PART, A MAINLY CLEAR NIGHT. TONIGHT, A LOT OF SUNSHINE GETS US GOING TOMORROW MORNING. BUT AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, THAT STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS THE NORTH WILL BE THE FOCUS OF SOME GUSTY WINDS, SO BE PREPARED FOR THAT. WIND ALERTS GO UP AGAIN FOR TOMORROW. AND THESE ARE A HIGH WIND WATCH THAT KICKS IN TONIGHT AND CARRIES US THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY TOMORROW. FOUR CORNERS YOUR TEMPS TAKE A TUMBLE. ONLY 68 FOR TOMORROW'S AFTERNOON'S HIGH TEMPERATURE BACK IN THE 70S. IN NO TIME WITH VERY LITTLE RAIN OPPORTUNITY AND A LOT OF SUNSHINE CONTINUING.
