Last Map Update: Sun, Apr 12, 2026 at 7:44:12 pm MDT

Strong winds, low humidity, warm temperatures, and very dry fuels will create critical fire weather conditions with a risk of rapid fire spread over northeast New Mexico from noon until 7 PM MDT on Monday.
Some storms will produce localized, brief, and erratic wind gusts up to 50 mph with little or no rain reaching the surface from the east slopes of the central mountain chain westward on Monday afternoon and evening. Brief periods of blowing dust are also likely in dust-prone locations.
Accumulating precipitation will favor the northern mountains westward Monday night and Tuesday.
Winds will strengthen Monday, and especially Tuesday in the east when gusts will reach near 50 mph over the northeast highlands and plains, and also along the east slopes of the south central mountains. In addition, there will be fire weather concerns mainly over northeast areas both days.
Wind and fire weather concerns return Thursday to north central and eastern areas, then areawide on Friday.
Freezing low temperatures are forecast in some locations during the middle to latter half of this week.
