High fire danger continues across much of the area over the next week due to dry and windy conditions. The greatest fire weather concerns will be Sunday as gusts peak up to 45 to 60 mph.
A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for northeastern and east- central NM Saturday afternoon where rapid fire spread will be favored from any new spark due to windy and dry weather conditions.
One less spark, one less wildfire. Dry and windy conditions are expected through the weekend. Make sure to properly discard cigarettes, don't park on dry grass, and follow all fire restrictions.
