Saturday and Sunday look to be another pair of days in the middle of a heatwave.

There’s no relief in site for Rio Rancho this weekend. It will be a good time to go to the local pool or maybe engage in water gun battles outside. There is always the $1 Dilly Bar at Dairy Queen to cool off with.

“Try not to over exert yourself. Also stay hydrated,” said Troy Marshall meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Albuquerque.

Saturday will be sunny and hot with a high of 99 degrees. That night will cool down to 67 degrees. 

Sunday will also be sunny and hot with a high of 98. Sunday night will cool down to 66 degrees with a slight breeze.

  • Aquatic Center: Opens at noon and closes at 6 p.m.
  • Haynes Pool: Opens at noon and closes at 6 p.m.
  • Cabezon Pool: Opens noon and closes at 6 p.m.
