A heat wave is landing on Albuquerque today, and it's arriving well ahead of schedule. Temperatures are pushing into the low to mid eighties, which puts this May thirteenth more than fifty degrees above the normal average for this date.
The high this afternoon will land somewhere in the low to mid eighties. Overnight, you'll get some relief as temperatures drop into the mid fifties, which is manageable, but the recovery is short.
For your commute this morning and afternoon, the clear skies are genuinely good news. Visibility is excellent.
The practical read is simple. Dress light.
There's a real possibility Albuquerque ties or breaks the May thirteenth record today. Whether the afternoon peak is strong enough to cross that line is the one remaining unknown.
Looking ahead, Wednesday brings the first credible chance of spotty showers, though that relief isn't guaranteed. The drought position across New Mexico means any rain will be welcome, but the timing and coverage are still uncertain.
