Strong winds and low humidity combine to create high fire danger, with the most widespread critical conditions today and Monday. Locally extreme fire weather possible both days over parts of eastern NM. New and existing fire starts may spread rapidly.
Critical fire weather develops again today over a larger area of NM with strong southwest winds and single-digit humidity. Wind gusts between 30 and 45 mph will be common across far western, south central and eastern NM. This will create critical to extremely critical fire weather conditions, increasing the threat of rapid fire spread.
Strong southwest to west winds with very low humidity increases the risk of rapid fire spread over southeastern half of NM again. Locally extreme fire weather is possible across northeast NM.
Above normal warmth continues before cooling a bit by Tuesday and Wednesday. Chances for afternoon thunderstorm activity increases over eastern NM mid-to-late next week.
