FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
247 AM MDT FRI JUL 11 2025
DISCUSSION
DRIER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ITS WAY OVER CENTRAL AND WESTERN
PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE WEST TODAY, WHERE SINGLE DIGIT
MINIMUM HUMIDITIES ARE FORECAST. SCATTERED TO ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY WILL FAVOR THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN EASTWARD
THIS AFTERNOON, BUT ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN SOME STORMS
WILL PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS WITH LITTLE OR NO RAIN. GULF MOISTURE WILL
INCREASE THIS WEEKEND THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK WITH DAILY
ROUNDS OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, AND A
DAILY RISK OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. EACH NIGHT THIS WEEKEND, AND
POTENTIALLY TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, GAP WINDS WILL DEVELOP
BELOW CANYONS OPENING INTO THE CENTRAL VALLEY FROM THE EAST WITH
GUSTS GENERALLY IN THE 25-40 MPH RANGE, AND POTENTIALLY STRONGER AT
TIMES.
