684 FNUS55 KABQ 032024 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 224 PM MDT Fri May 3 2024 ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NOON TO 10 PM MDT SUNDAY FOR MUCH OF NORTHERN, CENTRAL, AND WESTERN NM BELOW SNOWPACK DUE TO STRONG WIND AND LOW HUMIDITY... ...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT SUNDAY AND SUNDAY EVENING FOR THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS DUE TO STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY... .DISCUSSION... Marginal critical fire weather will continue over western NM through Saturday while eastern NM sees higher chances for showers and storms with wetting rainfall. A mixture of wet and dry storms is possible for the northern mountains Saturday with small wetting footprints. Any dry activity is more likely to favor the Jemez and Tusas/San Juan mountains. An extended period of critical to locally extreme fire weather is expected to begin Sunday as an upper level trough progresses slowly east across the southern Rockies. The strongest winds are focused on Sunday with gusts of 45 to 55 mph with single digit humidity and high Haines. A cold front moving through NM on Sunday night and Monday may bring some brief relief to far northwest NM. However, the rest of the area will stay windy with single digit humidity. More critical to locally extreme fire weather is likely Tuesday and Wednesday. A pattern change may arrive late next week with lighter winds and higher humidity for parts of the area.
