Today will be mostly sunny, with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s. Tonight, partly cloudy, with lows in the upper 40s to mid 50s.

Tomorrow, mostly sunny, highs in the mid to upper 80s.

Mostly sunny skies will hold through the rest of the work week with highs rising into the high 80′s.  As far as showers go the best chance will be over the northern high terrain and NE.  But even there the possibility of rain only sits at 10%.  Winds will be a minor factor over the next few days with gusts around 35 mph over the NE.  Here in the metro our gusts could hit 25 mph.  The next best shot for rain still looks to hold off until next week.

Pollen counts on the east and west sides of Albuquerque have all slipped into the low range, according to the latest numbers from the city’s Air Quality Division.

Pretty good moisture setup over the state through the weekend so scattered showers will be the rule each afternoon through Monday.  The one big game changer could well be a weather disturbance kicking over that moisture late Sunday.  This low could act as a trigger for widespread rain Sunday night.  This is by no means a sure thing but it bears watching.
