Highs around the Albuquerque metro push into the lower 90s before the rain arrives. It will be mostly cloudy and windy Sunday night. Rain lingers into early Monday morning.
Rain chances stay in the forecast on Monday mainly across the southwestern mountains. We will begin to dry out Tuesday and Wednesday with high pressure close by.
Temperatures begin to climb toward record-challenging highs through the second half of the week.
