Albuquerque Santa Fe, NM, September 26, 2026 —
New Mexico residents can anticipate clear skies and dry conditions for the upcoming Harvest Moon celebration on Saturday night. The forecast indicates fair weather will extend through Sunday, with mostly dry conditions and warm temperatures expected across the state.
However, the weather pattern is poised for a significant shift early next week. Beginning Monday and continuing into Tuesday, the state faces a heightened risk of encountering heavy rainfall. Forecasters are also warning of the potential for flash flooding events as these conditions develop.
The anticipated change in weather is attributed to moisture originating from Hurricane Polo. This tropical system’s forecast trajectory suggests its remnants will move into the region, introducing substantial moisture that could lead to significant precipitation. The full extent of the rainfall and the specific areas most vulnerable to flash flooding remain under assessment. No additional details regarding the contractor’s name, permit status, or inspection outcomes were provided.
