Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
1256 PM MDT Sat Apr 26 2025

...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM TO 7 PM MDT TODAY FOR
WEST-CENTRAL NM AND THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY DUE TO STRONG
WINDS, LOW HUMIDITY, AND HIGH FIRE DANGER...

...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 9 PM MDT SUNDAY FOR
ALL OF NORTHERN, CENTRAL, AND WESTERN NM DUE TO STRONG WINDS, LOW
HUMIDITY, AND HIGH FIRE DANGER...

.DISCUSSION...
Critical fire weather conditions will continue across central and
western portions of the area through early this evening, then
redevelop and become more widespread across all of western and
central NM on Sunday. Fire growth from lightning starts along the
east slopes of the Sangre De Cristos is possible Sunday. Near-
critical to critical fire weather conditions will redevelop Monday,
but be limited to eastern portions of the area that have had some
recent wetting rain. Portions of northeast NM may require a warning
on Monday if fuels are determined to be receptive to fire spread.
The combination of a disturbance and backdoor front will bring
chances for wetting showers and storms Tuesday and Wednesday, mainly
to northern and eastern NM. Another disturbance may bring chances
for wetting storms, mainly to eastern NM, on Friday. Chances for
critical fire weather conditions will be back on the uptrend next
weekend as stronger westerlies develop across the region.
