Winds calm ahead of Memorial Day

Winds will slowly die down starting around sunset this evening, with calmer conditions returning by Sunday morning.

Breezy afternoon winds will return Sunday afternoon, but won’t be nearly as strong as Saturday. A few gusts up to 40 mph may be possible with the northwest winds on Sunday. Winds will be even lighter for Memorial Day as high pressure moves overhead. This will also bring even warmer temperatures Monday afternoon.

Winds will stay light into Tuesday, but temperatures continue their warming trend. Wednesday next week will likely be the warmest day for many, with triple-digits down south and 90s in the Albuquerque Metro. Breezy afternoon winds will likely return starting the middle of next week as well.
