Strong west to northwest winds will impact much of northern and central New Mexico today with gusts reaching or exceeding 50 mph across northeast and east central areas. High profile and lightweight vehicles should use caution when traveling on north-to-south oriented roadways. Fine fuels will also be highly susceptible to rapid fire spreading so make sure chains aren't dragging and no stray cigarettes are thrown out.
A High Wind Warning, Wind Advisory, and Red Flag Warning are in effect for portions of central and eastern NM. Be sure to secure all lightweight outdoor objects and use caution if traveling on north-south oriented roadways. Outdoor burning is not recommended as fires will likely spread rapidly.
