Fire Weather Watch
...RED FLAG WARNING TODAY FROM 12 TO 6 PM FOR THE NORTHEAST AND
EAST CENTRAL PLAINS, AND THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS ALONG AND EAST OF
I-25, DUE TO STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY...
...FIRE WEATHER WATCH FRIDAY FROM 1 TO 6 PM FOR THE EASTERN
PLAINS, AND FOR THE GUADALUPE COUNTY PORTION OF THE CENTRAL
HIGHLANDS, DUE TO STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY...
.Persistently strong flow aloft, an area of low pressure at the
surface over the northeast corner of New Mexico, and very dry
fuels over northeast and east central areas will result in
critical fire weather conditions on the eastern plains today and
Friday. The critical fire weather conditions will reach as far
west as the I-25 corridor from Las Vegas northward today, but
higher humidities and snow showers should reduce fire weather
concerns over the Northeast Highlands on Friday. Meanwhile, drier
conditions are forecast across the eastern half of the Central
Highlands on Friday, compared to today. So, Guadalupe County has
been added to Friday's Fire Weather Watch. The strongest winds are
forecast Friday, when gusts will probably reach 50 to 60 mph
across much of northeast and east central New Mexico.
The National Weather Service in Albuquerque has issued a Fire
Weather Watch...which is in effect Friday afternoon.
* AREA AND TIMING...Guadalupe County portion of the Central
Highlands (Zone 126) Friday from 1 to 6 PM MST.
* 20 FOOT WINDS...West winds 25 to 40 mph with gusts up to 60
mph.
* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...Minimum values between 13 and 19 percent.
