Critical firew weather conditions will favor central and western areas on Sunday, where very low humidities from 7-20 percent are forecast. Eastern areas will feel humidities in the 20-40 percent range on Sunday afternoon, so the fire weather threat will only be elevated there. However, on Monday humidities will plummet across the east as well creating critical to extreme fire weather conditions areawide.
An extended pattern for potential large fire growth is expected to start on Sunday and last through at least midweeki. Strong winds will combine with very low relative humidity to create critical to extreme fire weather conditions in much northern and central NM. Rapid fire spread is likely with any fire starts.
