Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Albuquerque, NM

SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Sunday)
Issued at 1133 PM MST Fri Nov 6 2026

An upper low is currently diving south from Arizona to over Sonora, Mexico. Upper level divergence ahead of the low is resulting in scattered to numerous rain and mountain peak snow showers across southern NM with some of the activity moving across Socorro, Lincoln and Chaves County. This will gradually shift east through midday Saturday before tapering off Saturday afternoon. Rainfall amounts will generally be below 0.25 inches across this area through Saturday afternoon. Elsewhere, some low clouds and fog will try to develop over valley locations of west-central and northwestern NM Saturday morning as mid levels dry out, but low levels remain nearly saturated. Mostly clear skies along and north of I-40 during the day Saturday. Clouds south of I-40 gradually taper off from northwest to southeast Saturday afternoon into Saturday evening as the upper low drifts east across north central Mexico. Near average high temperatures along and north of I-40, but below average high temperatures by 5 to 15 degrees along and south of I-40 due to the aforementioned precipitation and cloud cover. Seasonably chilly Saturday night into Sunday morning under mostly clear skies with light winds. A splendid Sunday is expected with mostly clear skies, very light winds, and near average temperatures as the state sits in between an upper level ridge to the north and the upper low over north central Mexico.

LONG TERM
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 1133 PM MST Fri Nov 6 2026

Upper level ridging over southern California Sunday expands east over much of the desert SW Monday as the upper low over Mexico shifts northeast over Texas. High temperatures across the area increase a few degrees compared to Sunday with light winds and mostly sunny skies continuing. The weak ridge overhead breaks down Tuesday as a trough moves southeast across the northern and central Rockies and Great Plains. No noticeable changes in the sensible weather compared to Monday. Upper level ridging over the Great Basin and troughing over the Great Plains helps sends a weak backdoor front through eastern NM Wednesday morning resulting in light north winds. The upper ridge slides east closer to the state Thursday before moving overhead Friday allowing the tranquil November weather to continue! High clouds move in from the west late in the day Friday as a storm system moves into the Pacific coast. High temperatures next week will be near to slightly above average, while low temperatures will be slightly to well above average for mid November.
