Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
250 AM MDT Fri Apr 26 2024

...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FOR TODAY FROM 1 PM MDT UNTIL 8 PM
MDT FOR EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY DUE TO
STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY...

...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FOR SATURDAY BETWEEN NOON AND 8 PM
FOR THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS DUE TO STRONG WINDS, LOW HUMIDITY AND
AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...

.DISCUSSION...
Critical fire weather conditions will return today for eastern New
Mexico as well as the Middle Rio Grande and Sandia and Manzano
Mountains. The northern portion of the Sandia Mountains received
several dry lightning strikes last evening which will be cause for
concern as winds increase and humidity decreases today. Sub-15
percent RH with wind gusts between 35 and 40 mph can be expected this
afternoon across much of central and eastern New Mexico. Another
storm system will approach the Four Corners tonight before shifting
eastward over southern Colorado Saturday. Another round of showers
and thunderstorms are expected across western and central New Mexico,
while strong winds return for eastern New Mexico. Critical fire
weather conditions are possible across the East Central Plains
Saturday afternoon. Quieter conditions are expected early next week,
though hot, dry and unstable conditions are likely.
