URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
115 AM MDT Sat Jun 21 2025

...RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU, WEST CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS, WEST CENTRAL BASIN AND RANGE AS WELL AS THE UPPER RIO
GRANDE AND LOWER CHAMA RIVER VALLEYS 11 AM TO 9 PM TODAY DUE TO
STRONG WINDS, VERY LOW HUMIDITY, AND HIGH FIRE DANGER...

.South to southwest winds will trend slightly stronger Saturday
afternoon, increasing the risk of rapid fire spread. Poor
overnight humidity recoveries, especially across western New
Mexico, will allow relative humidity values to plummet quickly
with daytime heating. Several hours of humidity values between
five and ten percent will further contribute to the rapid drying
of fuels across western New Mexico. Humidity values will not be as
low across the Upper Rio Grande and Lower Chama River Valleys,
however, several hours of sub-15 percent humidity is forecast.
