Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
210 AM MDT Wed Apr 17 2024

...ELEVATED TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER FOR THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS
TODAY...

.DISCUSSION...
A weak shortwave trough exiting the area today will allow for breezy
west to southwest winds across much of northern and eastern NM. Very
low humidity with warm temperatures and gusty winds will create an
area of near-critical fire weather from around Clines Corners to Las
Vegas and Santa Rosa. The overall coverage was not great enough to
warrant a Red Flag Warning. A backdoor cold front will then shift
south into northeast NM Thursday with higher humidity and perhaps
some low clouds. This front will surge west to the central mountain
chain Friday with even higher humidity and more clouds. Central and
western NM will remain warm, dry and breezy both days with a few
hours of marginal critical fire weather possible. The cold front is
expected to shift west into the Rio Grande Valley on Saturday with
briefly higher humidity and gusty canyon winds. Eastern NM may even
see some wetting rainfall during this period. Dry air will move back
into central NM Sunday then into more of eastern NM Monday.
