148 AM MDT Sun May 19 2024
...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
MONDAY EVENING FOR WESTERN NM AS WELL AS THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY AND THE SANDIA AND MANZANO MOUNTAINS DUE TO STRONG WINDS,
VERY LOW HUMIDITY AND AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...
.Critical fire weather conditions are expected on Monday afternoon
across western and portions of central New Mexico. Strong west to
southwest winds will increase in advance of an approaching
disturbance and surface winds may gust near 45 mph during the
afternoon. Humidity recovery tonight will be poor to fair which
will allow humidity values to quickly bottom out close to or
within the single digits Monday afternoon. In addition, the
atmosphere is forecast to be unstable with excellent mixing.
Strong winds and low relative humidity values are also expected
across eastern New Mexico, however recent rainfall amounts will
mitigate the critical fire weather concerns.
