Critical fire weather conditions continue through Tuesday for portions of New Mexico. Rapid fire spread will be possible from any new spark. Now is the time to take proper precautions to reduce the risk of new sparks.
A Fire Weather Watch is in effect for portions of western and northeastern NM Tuesday afternoon. The combination of dry and windy conditions and dry fuels will allow for rapid fire spread from any new spark.
Scattered virga showers and isolated dry thunderstorms over the central swath of NM will threaten abrupt and erratic gusty winds and dry lightning with little to no accompanying rainfall.
There is a marginal risk for a few strong to severe thunderstorms along the NM/TX border Tuesday afternoon and early evening. Severe hail, wind, and frequent lightning will accompany of these storms.
The heat comes down a tad through mid-week, but low 100s return late week into the weekend. Precipitation chances remain low, but dry virga showers or thunderstorms will still threaten abrupt and erratic gusty winds Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon through central NM.
