194 FNUS55 KABQ 282000 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 200 PM MDT Thu Aug 28 2025 .DISCUSSION... Critical fire weather conditions are not expected for the next several days. Daily rounds of thunderstorms are expected across the high terrain, mainly the central mountain chain and Gila Region, moving off into the lower elevations. High rainfall rates may cause localized flash flooding, especially over recent burn scars. Rain chances continue into next week, spreading westward. Humidity increases as a result of moist backdoor fronts replenishing moisture. ................................................................ Experimental Max RFTI, Ventilation category, mixing height and transport winds for each Fire Weather Zone are based on the following points. Note: Maximum transport winds may not occur at the same time as maximum mixing heights.
