An extended pattern for potential large fire growth starts Sunday and will last through midweek. Strong winds will combine with very low relative humidity leading to critical to extreme fire weather conditions across much of northern and central New Mexico. Rapid fire growth is likely in receptive fuels with any fire starts. Do your part to prevent wildfires and create #OneLessSpark.
Widespread critical to extreme fire weather conditions this afternoon and evening over central and western areas cause any new fire starts to spread rapidly.
Strong to potentially damaging winds may develop over the northern mountains to central highlands Monday and Tuesday. In addition to the very gusty winds, dry conditions and low humidity will be present, leading to high fire danger!
