661 FNUS55 KABQ 100829 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 229 AM MDT Fri Oct 10 2025 .DISCUSSION... No critical fire weather conditions are expected for the next seven days. Widespread wetting rains, favoring areas along and west of the central mountain chain, will occur in several rounds through early next week. Breezy to gusty conditions develop over northeastern NM on Saturday afternoon, with humidity falling to 20-30% over Union County on Sunday. However, fuel states remain moist even in these areas, mitigating any potential threat. ................................................................
