Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
138 PM MDT Sat Aug 30 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Critical fire weather conditions are not expected through the next 7
days. Storms today will favor the eastern plains, with little
coverage west of the central mountain chain. A backdoor frontal
passage will replenish moisture tonight, resulting in an increase to
storm coverage in central areas Sunday. Scattered showers and storms
will continue each afternoon next week, favoring the high terrain of
central and northern New Mexico. Excellent humidity recoveries are
likely east of the central mountain chain each of the next several
days, with fair to good recoveries in the west.
