...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 1PM TO 8PM MDT MONDAY FOR
WESTERN NM AS WELL AS THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND THE SANDIA
AND MANZANO MOUNTAINS DUE TO STRONG WINDS, VERY LOW HUMIDITY AND
AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...

.Critical fire weather conditions are expected on Monday
afternoon across western and portions of central New Mexico.
Strong west to southwest winds will increase in advance of an
approaching disturbance and surface winds may gust near 50 mph
during the afternoon. Humidity recovery tonight will be poor to
fair which will allow humidity values to quickly bottom out close
to or within the single digits Monday afternoon. In addition, the
atmosphere is forecast to be unstable with excellent mixing.
Strong winds and low relative humidity values are also expected
across eastern New Mexico, however recent rainfall and ongoing
greenup will mitigate the critical fire weather concerns.
