Temperature Outlook

A Red Flag Warning is in effect for the Northeast Highlands & Plains due to gusty winds, low humidity and dry vegetation.

Concern for rapid fire spread returns today, Wednesday and Thursday across portions of northern and central NM due to strong winds and low humidity.

Isolated to scattered dry thunderstorms and virga showers are expected across western and central NM Monday afternoon and evening. Main hazards will be erratic wind gusts of up to 50 mph, patchy blowing dust, and dry lightning strikes which could result in future fire starts.

A storm system approaching and passing to the north of New Mexico Wednesday and Thursday will result in gusty southwest winds Wednesday and west winds Thursday. Moderate to high (40 to 80%) probabilities for wind gusts greater than 50 mph exist across northwest and northeast NM Wednesday and locations across the central mountain chain and adjacent northeast highlands and plains Thursday. These winds will result in difficult to hazardous crosswinds for high profile vehicles on north to south oriented highways.
