Air Quality Alert
NMZ402-408-409-171900-
Southern Gila Highlands/Black Range-Eastern Black Range Foothills-
Sierra County Lakes-
Including the cities of Silver City, Lake Roberts, Kingston,
Fort Bayard, Hillsboro, Winston, Truth Or Consequences, Derry,
and Spaceport
339 PM MDT Mon May 16 2022
...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM MDT TUESDAY...
The New Mexico Departments of Health and Environment has issued an
Air Quality Alert, until 1 PM MDT Tuesday.
An Air Quality Alert for Smoke has been issued.
* WHAT...West to southwest winds are expected to transport smoke from
the Black fire into portions of Sierra County. Overnight tonight,
drainage flow is expected to bring much of the smoke from the Black
and Bear Trap fires into the Rio Grande Valley of Sierra County as
well as valley areas in adjacent Grant County.
* WHERE...Locations most likely to experience the greatest impacts
from smoke include portions of Grant and Sierra Counties including
Elephant Butte, Truth or Consequences, Poverty Creek, and Winston.
* WHEN...Through at least 1PM MDT Tuesday, May 17th.
* IMPACTS...Those with conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer, and heart
disease will be especially vulnerable to impacts from poor air
quality, as will adults over age 65, young children, and pregnant
women if smoke concentrations become unhealthy.
* HEALTH INFORMATION...Remember, your eyes are your best tools to
determine if it is safe to be outside. Use the 5-3-1 Method
available at
https://nmtracking.org/environment/air/FireAndSmoke.html.
If visibility is:
Under 5 miles, the air quality is unhealthy for young children,
adults over age 65, pregnant women, and people with heart
and/or lung disease, asthma or other respiratory illness.
Outdoor activity should be minimized.
Around 3 miles, young children, adults over age 65, pregnant
women, and people with heart and/or lung disease, asthma or other
respiratory illness should avoid all outdoor activities.
Around 1 mile, the air quality is unhealthy for everyone. People
should remain indoors and avoid all outdoor activities including
running errands. Unless an evacuation has been issued, stay inside
your home, indoor workplace, or in a safe shelter.
With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic affecting New Mexico and with the
wildfire season underway, New Mexicans will need to take extra
precautions. Smoke from wildfires may cause people to have more
severe reactions if they are infected COVID-19. The best way to
protect against the potentially harmful effects of wildfire smoke and
to reduce the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home and create a clean
indoor air space. NMDOH offers tips here:
https://nmtracking.org/environment/air/IndoorQuality.html and
https://cv.nmhealth.org
New Mexicans will also need to take steps to keep their homes cool to
avoid heat-related illnesses. NMDOH offers tips here:

Air Quality Alert Message
Relayed by National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
334 PM MDT Mon May 16 2022
...AIR QUALITY ALERT...
The following message is transmitted at the request of the New Mexico
Departments of Health and Environment.
* WHAT...Smoke transport along and east of the Sangre De Cristos may
be complicated through the rest of the afternoon and early evening
by localized strong and gusty outflow winds from nearby
thunderstorms. Otherwise, moderate south and southwesterly transport
winds averaging 15-25 mph will carry smoke from large wildfires
toward the north-northeast until around sunset. Thereafter, typical
nighttime drainage winds will predominate at the local level and
replace this past night`s significant surge of easterly and
northeast winds that impacted many areas and carried smoke into
parts of the Rio Grande Valley. A quick return to drier conditions
expected going into Tuesday with more of a westerly influence to
general smoke transport in wake of a weak disturbance crossing the
state.
* WHERE...Locations most likely to experience the greatest impacts
from smoke include the following counties: Colfax, Mora, western San
Miguel, Socorro, far southeast Catron, and northwest Sierra
counties. Impacted communities include but are not limited to
Chacon, Elephant Butte, Gallinas, Guadalupita, Las Vegas, Magdalena,
Mora, Ocate, Pecos, Sapello, San Antonio, Truth or Consequences, and
Winston.
* WHEN...Remainder of this afternoon through at least 1PM MDT Tuesday,
May 17th.
* IMPACTS...Those with conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer, and heart
disease will be especially vulnerable to impacts from poor air
quality, as will adults over age 65, young children, and pregnant
women if smoke concentrations become unhealthy.
* HEALTH INFORMATION...Remember, your eyes are your best tools to determine
if it is safe to be outside. Use the 5-3-1 Method available at

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Isolated thunderstorms will be possible across the central mountains
and northern and far eastern sections of the southeast plains this
afternoon and evening. The main risk with thunderstorms will be
gusty outflow winds up to 50 mph and lightning but little or no
rainfall. A cold front will move through the southeast plains this
evening bringing increasing moisture and the potential for an
isolated strong to severe thunderstorm across Kiowa county. The
main risks will be wind gusts up to 60 mph and hail to around 1 inch
in diameter with the window for the strongest storms occuring
between 4 PM and 10 PM.
Localized near critical fire weather conditions will be possible
across Baca county late this morning through early afternoon before
winds subside through mid to late afternoon. Elsewhere, humidity
values will drop below 15 percent but winds will be lighter. Given
the persistent dry conditions, care should still be taken to avoid
activities which could start a wildfire.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday
Critical Fire Weather conditions will likely continue this week
across southern Colorado. Spotty conditions are likely in the San
Luis Valley Wednesday. After that, much more widespread fire
conditions are likely Thursday across southern Colorado. Thursday
will be the most concerning High Fire Danger day across southern
Colorado as gusty west winds increase ahead of another storm system.
Scattered thunderstorms are possible Wednesday across the mountains
and plains during the afternoon. The main risk with thunderstorms
will be strong outflow winds and lightning. There is the chance for
a couple of strong to severe storms across the eastern plains
Wednesday, with strong winds, large hail, and locally heavy rain
fall possible if this occurs.
Additional chances for precipitation will occur Friday and into
Saturday mornings as another storm system passes over the area.
Rain and snow will be possible, with the greatest precipitation
chances along and east of the eastern mountains.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be possible over portions of the region.
