Talk about a weather blitz!Now, let's talk Weather Playbook! Today's meteorological concept is the urban heat island effect. Picture this like a defensive line trapping heat. Cities like Albuquerque absorb and retain heat from concrete and buildings, making urban areas significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas. It's like wearing your football pads in the middle of summer - things get toasty!Our three-day forecast is looking like a hot offensive drive:Tuesday: Sunny and 99 degreesWednesday: Sunny and 102 degreesThursday: Sunny and 103 degreesAnd hey, for all you weekend warriors, we've got a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms rolling in Saturday night.
