157 AM MDT Fri Jun 20 2025

...RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU, WEST CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS, AND THE WEST CENTRAL BASIN AND RANGE NOON TO 9 PM
TODAY DUE TO STRONG WINDS, VERY LOW HUMIDITY, AND HIGH FIRE
DANGER...

...RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU, WEST CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS, WEST CENTRAL BASIN AND RANGE AS WELL AS THE UPPER RIO
GRANDE AND LOWER CHAMA RIVER VALLEYS 11 AM TO 9 PM SATURDAY DUE TO
STRONG WINDS, VERY LOW HUMIDITY, AND HIGH FIRE DANGER...

.South to southwest winds will trend stronger Friday and Saturday

of fuels across western New Mexico. Humidity values will not be as
low across the Upper Rio Grande and Lower Chama River Valleys,
however, several hours of sub-15 percent humidity is forecast.
