481 FNUS55 KABQ 131135 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 535 AM MDT Thu Jul 13 2023 .DISCUSSION... Very hot, dry, and unstable conditions will persist over northwest NM through early next week. West to northwest winds may be strong enough today through Saturday to support some marginal critical fire weather as well. The focus for locally heavy rainfall will be over northeast NM and the southern high terrain where deeper moisture is in place. The upper level high is likely to strengthen over NM next week with some of the hottest weather in the past 10 years. Very little storm coverage is expected with most activity producing small footprints of wetting rainfall Monday through Wednesday. Much better moisture may begin seeping underneath the upper high by late next week with cooler temperatures and an uptick in storms possible.
