086 FNUS55 KABQ 012056 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 256 PM MDT Sun Oct 1 2023 ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT THROUGH 7 PM FOR THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU AND WEST CENTRAL MOUNTAINS DUE TO STRONG WINDS, LOW HUMIDITY AND AN UNSTABLE AIR MASS... .DISCUSSION... Windy conditions and low to critically-low humidity will persist through the evening in northwestern and west central New Mexico. These Red Flag conditions should subside around sunset once winds begin decreasing in speed. Good to excellent humidity is forecast overnight through Monday morning, especially in the eastern half of the state. Slightly cooler temperatures and higher humidity are expected Monday. This will lower the threat for critical fire weather some, but it should be noted windy conditions will still prevail in many zones Monday afternoon. Soaking rainfall will impact more and more locations in eastern New Mexico tonight through Monday, and a few locations between the Continental Divide and the Rio Grande will have chance for brief rainfall Monday, but amounts will be much lighter. Winds will not be as strong on Tuesday, turning more from the west which will allow a drier pattern to prevail through the middle of the week.
