The cold front is expected to approach eastern New Mexico early today, which will funnel in cooler air behind it. High temperatures, on Sunday, are expected to drop temperatures below normal in eastern New Mexico, while high temperatures in Albuquerque drop to be seasonal. Temperatures are expected to rebound gradually throughout early next week with a bit more cloud coverage forecasted after Monday.

By Tuesday, winds will change to the west, which could spike temperatures to be above normal in eastern New Mexico with downsloping winds. A period of dry weather will be sticking around in New Mexico for most of next week. As we look ahead to late next week, a pattern change may emerge, which would bring precipitation chances back into New Mexico and southern Colorado. Enjoy the warmer temperatures today!…
