FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
ISSUED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
157 AM MDT WED JUN 24 2026
DISCUSSION
A FIRE GROWING PATTERN IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY WILL PRODUCE LITTLE
PRECIPITATION DESPITE INCREASING MOISTURE. THIS WILL INCREASE THE
RISK OF LIGHTNING-STARTED FIRES. AFTER THIS THUNDERSTORM PERIOD,
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL RETURN OVER THE WEEKEND.
SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 35 AND 50 MPH WILL BE COMMON WITH
DAYTIME RH VALUES FALLING BELOW 15 PERCENT BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
ANY LIGHTNING-STARTED FIRES WILL LIKELY GROW THROUGH THIS PERIOD.
OTHERWISE, HOT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE WITH TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT
IMPACTING SEVERAL LOCATIONS IN THE EASTERN PLAINS AND THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY. LOW LEVEL RETURN FLOW WILL INCREASE MOISTURE EARLY NEXT WEEK,
WITH STORM CHANCES RETURNING TO EASTERN NM AS EARLY AS MONDAY.
