FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO  
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM  
341 AM MST MON JAN 20 2025  
   
DISCUSSION  
 
BITTERLY COLD TEMPS CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY THANKS TO A REINFORCING  
ARCTIC AIR INTRUSION TODAY. LIGHT SNOW WILL FAVOR THE NORTHEAST, BUT  
MOST AREAS WILL REMAIN DRY. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN  
NORTHWEST AREAS WITH A NORTHEAST TO EAST WIND IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN  
AREAS. THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL IMPROVE VENTILATION TODAY, BUT VENT  
RATES DETERIORATE AGAIN TUESDAY THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK IN MOST  
AREAS. BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS ARE LIKELY EACH AFTERNOON TUESDAY  
THROUGH FRIDAY IN THE AREAS JUST EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN.  
PRECIPITATION CHANCES MAY BEGIN TO INCREASE FROM THE WEST SUNDAY AND  
MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK, BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW.  
 
ON OR ABOUT FEBRUARY 1, 2025, THE NWS WILL DISCONTINUE HAINES INDEX  
AND LIGHTNING ACTIVITY LEVEL (LAL) IN ALL FIRE WEATHER PRODUCTS. THE  
DISCONTINUATION IS DUE TO NEW SCIENCE DEMONSTRATING THE FORECAST  
INFORMATION IS BEST ASSESSED THROUGH OTHER FORECAST FIELDS.
