Gusty southwest winds will return while humidity values fall below 10 percent for several hours in the afternoon. A surface trough in the lee of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains will produce the strongest winds there, with winds a little lighter and humidities a little lower further south. Though high temperatures will be a few degrees below average, high fire danger persists in fine fuels. Winds will decrease Thursday evening, mitigating the critical fire weather concerns. After a break from the strong winds on Friday, westerly winds will ramp back up on Saturday for the Sandia and Manzano Mountains and all of eastern New Mexico. Very low humidity values are expected as temperatures rise above normal. The combination of low humidity, above normal temperatures and strong winds will create widespread fire weather conditions.
