NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
1237 AM MDT SAT JUL 12 2025

CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED THROUGH THE END OF
NEXT WEEK. MOISTURE WILL INCREASE THE NEXT FEW DAYS, CREATING GOOD TO
EXCELLENT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES ACROSS THE EASTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE
AREA, WITH FAIR RECOVERIES IN WESTERN NEW MEXICO. SCATTERED TO
WIDESPREAD AFTERNOON STORMS EACH DAY WILL FAVOR CENTRAL AND EASTERN
NEW MEXICO, WITH LOWER RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE WEST. WETTING RAINFALL
IS LIKELY IN MOST AREAS AND MULTI-DAY RAINFALL TOTALS MAY EXCEED 3
INCHES IN PORTIONS OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO.
