562 FNUS55 KABQ 131736 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 1136 AM MDT Wed Aug 13 2025 .DISCUSSION... Generally, a lower coverage across the higher terrain this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, except across the Gila Mountains near the AZ border. Critically low minimum relative humidity values across west central and northwest areas through tomorrow. A traditional flow of monsoon moisture is forecast to set up late Thursday but more so Friday into this weekend. Shower and thunderstorm coverage will favor far western areas late tomorrow, along and west of the central mountain chain Friday and then most of the state outside of the Four Corners area, including Farmington, this weekend into Monday. Better shower and thunderstorm coverage looks to areas along and west of the central mountain chain beginning next Wednesday. ................................................................
