Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
252 PM MDT Sat May 24 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Breezy to windy and warm to hot conditions will continue through the
early evening before winds and heat begin to subside. Humidity
remains very low across much of New Mexico, but especially the
western and central areas where readings are dropping below 5 percent.
Breezy conditions will still be common in the afternoons ahead, but
overall wind speeds are forecast to be lower each day. Rain chances
increase in northeastern New Mexico Sunday, before gradually
spreading farther south and west through the middle of the week.
Soaking rainfall with a few strong to severe thunderstorms will be
observed in the eastern half of New Mexico each day with Wednesday
potentially being one of the more active days. In western New Mexico,
mostly dry conditions will prevail, but by Wednesday and Thursday,
dry thunderstorms producing little, if any, rainfall will begin to
develop. These dry storms will produce gusty winds and lightning
which may ignite new wildfires.
