875 FNUS55 KABQ 280724 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 124 AM MDT Thu Aug 28 2025 .DISCUSSION... Critical fire weather conditions are not forecast through at least the next seven days. A backdoor front will recharge moisture across eastern New Mexico Thursday and bring an uptick in humidity and coverage of wetting storms by Friday and into the weekend. Moisture will gradually move further west and north across the state late in the weekend and into next week as high pressure repositions to over the Great Basin. This transition will bring improved humidity and chances for wetting rain to central and western New Mexico relative to the next couple of days. ................................................................ 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.
