496 FNUS55 KABQ 021145 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 545 AM MDT Thu May 2 2024 .DISCUSSION... Hot, dry and unstable conditions will prevail through Saturday across western and portions of central NM, while two backdoor fronts supply moist easterly flow and higher humidity to much of eastern NM. The increased moisture across eastern NM may fuel a few wetting storms by late Friday and Saturday, with the best chances near the TX border. A few dry lightning strikes are possible across north central NM Saturday afternoon as the backdoor front makes further progress westward into central NM and provides sufficient moisture for late day buildups. A critical fire weather pattern will develop Sunday and continue through the middle of next week with the potential for large fire growth as a potent disturbance moves east across the region and strong westerly winds continue in it`s wake.
