Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0132 PM CST Sat Feb 22 2025

Valid 231200Z - 241200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

The previous forecast remains on track. Ensemble guidance continues
to show some potential for localized elevated conditions in the lee
of the Sacramento and Sandia Manzano mountains of eastern NM and
across east/southeast WY into the far western NE Panhandle. However,
coverage of elevated conditions and unreceptive fuel status should
limit fire weather concerns for both regions.

...Synopsis...
Warm and dry downslope winds appear likely in ensemble guidance
across portions of central New Mexico, where winds could reach 15-20
MPH and relative humidity values drop below 20%. However, current
ERC fuels guidance suggests the overall threat for wildfire ignition
and spread is low. Given the lack of receptive fuels, there will be
no introduction of fire-weather highlights at this time.
