914 FNUS55 KABQ 141219 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 619 AM MDT Tue May 14 2019 .DISCUSSION... A ridge of high pressure crossing from the west will cause the recent warming and drying trend to continue through mid week, although isolated and gusty thunderstorms will form over the mountains and drift over adjacent lowlands during the afternoons and evenings. A series of storm systems will then pass mainly north of New Mexico Thursday through early next week returning a more typical spring pattern of breezy-to-windy conditions and areas of very low humidities to the state each day. There will be a chance for showers, thunderstorms and high terrain snow across northern areas, but wetting footprints will be small.
