Hi Shawn, the route you suggest (ABQ to Tucson via I-25 -> I-10) is a very easy trip and should be no weather issues unless something very odd/dramatic occurs. There can be issues to the east of ABQ, of course, but usually only during and on the heals of a storm.
You coast all the way down into ABQ and then stay in the middle-right lanes as you approach the "Big I" (where I-25 and I-40 cross) then head south. The shortcut thru Hatch from I-25 to I-10 via Highway 26 is a very good road (two-lane but smooth and wide) and saves a few miles if you don't need to go thru Los Cruces. There is not much between ABQ and Deming (using SR-26) though Truth or Consequences does have fuel and a Walmart. I guess there is fuel in Hatch as well, now that I think about it.
P.S. The green chiles in Hatch are the best on the planet!
