837 FNUS55 KABQ 151855 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 1255 PM MDT Fri Aug 15 2025 .DISCUSSION... Overall critical fire weather conditions are not forecast through the next several days. Fuel moisture based on ERCs look to be quite low over the Northwest Plateau and North Central Mountain zones. These would be the most likely areas for warnings should critical conditions develop. Currently the foreast does call for minimum relative humidity dropping below 15 percent in some of these areas for the middle or end of next week but winds should not reach thresholds for warnings. ................................................................ Experimental Max RFTI, Ventilation category, mixing height and transport winds for each Fire Weather Zone are based on the following points. Note: Maximum transport winds may not occur at the same time as maximum mixing heights. Zone 101...Farmington.......5500 ft MSL Zone 120...Jemez RAWS.......8000 ft MSL Zone 121...Wild River RAWS..7500 ft MSL Zone 122...Cimarron RAWS....8900 ft MSL Zone 123...Las Vegas........6850 ft MSL Zone 104...Clayton..........5000 ft MSL Zone 105...Grants...........6600 ft MSL Zone 106...Albuquerque......5300 ft MSL Zone 124...Mountainair......6600 ft MSL Zone 125...Santa Rosa.......4700 ft MSL Zone 126...Tucumcari........4050 ft MSL Zone 109...Magdalena RAWS...8450 ft MSL Ventilation categories are determined by criteria established by each state.
