    Moving on to the job market, Albuquerque is seeing a significant boom in the tech sector. Major players like Intel and Amazon are actively recruiting, with over 1,400 tech job openings available. The average tech salary in Albuquerque is around $128,883, with roles in AI, software development, and data science being particularly in demand.

    Weather-wise, we're expecting a windy and warm weekend before a cooldown. Today, temperatures will be mild, making it a great day to get outdoors and enjoy our city's parks and trails[4].

    In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today, but we're always on the lookout for updates on our local business scene.

    Looking ahead to community events, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Albuquerque District is hosting midwinter eagle surveys at several lakes, including Abiquiu and Cochiti lakes. These free events are open to the public and offer a great opportunity to participate in wildlife conservation efforts[5].

    In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates today, but we're always proud to highlight the accomplishments of our local students and athletes.

    On a feel-good note, the Al’burrr’querque Polar Plunge is coming up to support a fund created in memory of a lifeguard. This event is a great way to engage with our community and support a worthy cause[4].

    In today's crime report, we have a few incidents to mention. A person was struck and killed by a train in Gallup, and there was a reported bomb threat that closed several streets and businesses in northeast Albuquerque.
