Very dry air will spread over the entire area today along with hot temperatures. Moderate heat-risk will elevate the threat for heat-related illnesses in sensitive individuals.
Dry and windy conditions will result in critical fire weather conditions Monday near Gallup, Tuesday across much of northwest NM and Wednesday across portions of eastern NM. However, recent rainfall may mitigate fire weather concerns across the east. Please do your part to create one less spark!
Virga showers or sprinkles as well as a few dry lightning strikes will develop across portions of western and central NM on Monday. While these showers will produce little, if any, rainfall, gusty and erratic winds will be common. New fire starts will be possible.
Showers and thunderstorms will return on Tuesday. Across eastern NM, some storm may be severe with large hail and damaging wind gusts. Across western and central NM, a mix of wet and dry storms will produce gusty winds and may start new fires. Expect dangerous lightning, erratic wind gusts, and wet or slick roads.
Temperatures will rise over the next week with minor to moderate heat- related impacts likely. Moderate heat risk affects those who are sensitive to heat, especially those without cooling/hydration, and some health systems and industries.
