Gusty winds and low relative humidity will increase fire danger across northeast NM today and Monday. Do your part to create one less spark! Avoid open flames, keep vehicles off dry grass and properly discard cigarettes!
Temperatures will warm a few degrees today, but moisture moving into southern and southwestern NM will bring a low chance of light showers (sprinkles) or virga, gusty winds and a dry lightning strike.
Showers and thunderstorms return to northern and central NM on Monday and Tuesday. Precipitation amounts will be light, with less than 0.10" likely at many locations. Showers and thunderstorms , especially on Monday, will be capable of gusty and erratic winds. These winds may produce brief restrictions in visibility to blowing dust and result in abrupt crosswinds for high profile vehicles. Lightning strikes in receptive fuels may also result in new fire starts.
Slightly warmer today, then temperatures will remain steady through Tuesday. Warmer temperatures arrive Wednesday and Thursday. Scattered storms and gusty virga showers are likely Monday and Tuesday. After a quiet Wednesday, precipitation chances return late week, with the highest chances in eastern New Mexico.
