137 FNUS55 KABQ 011123 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 523 AM MDT Wed May 1 2024 ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND THE UPPER RIO GRANDE VALLEY LATE MORNING THROUGH EVENING DUE TO STRONG WINDS, LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE... .DISCUSSION... Increasing southwest winds today, due in part to a deepening lee side trough, combined with a dry airmass over the region will bring critical fire weather conditions to much of eastern NM including the upper Rio Grande Valley. Hot, dry and unstable conditions will prevail elsewhere, with winds below critical threshold. A weak cold front will move through overnight into Thursday and winds will trend down, limiting critical fire weather potential. A backdoor cold front will bring increased humidity to eastern NM going into Friday, while the remainder of the area remains hot, dry and unstable. Hot, dry and unstable conditions will remain across western and portions of central NM Saturday, but another backdoor front across eastern NM will hold humidity higher and bring chances for wetting storms, especially across the east central plains near the TX border. A disturbance will approach Sunday, spreading stronger winds across the area and bringing a round of critical fire weather conditions to central and western NM. More widespread critical fire weather conditions are likely early next week as well.
