Isolated to scattered dry thunderstorms and virga showers are expected across western and central NM this 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. Localized wetting precipitation of 0.2 to 0.3 inches across the southwest and south central high terrain.
Concern for rapid fire spread returns Wednesday through Friday across areas of northern and central NM due to strong winds, very low humidity, and dry vegetation.
Springtime winds will crank-up Wednesday and Thursday, then gradually step down through Saturday. At this time, there is a moderate probability (30-60%) of wind gusts exceeding advisory criteria for some areas on Wednesday and Thursday.
