After Sunday, a surge of moisture is expected to bring isolated showers and storm chances into the region on Monday. Monday also marks the first day of Astronomical Fall. On Monday, the globe will receive roughly an equal amount of daylight due to the Earth’s axis not being tilted toward or away from the sun.
After the first day of fall showers, storm chances may continue throughout next week. High temperatures in Albuquerque are expected to trend in the 80s. Enjoy the weekend along with the blue skies and sunshine…
