646 FNUS55 KABQ 281159 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 459 AM MST Fri Feb 28 2025 .DISCUSSION... Warm and dry conditions with mostly light winds will prevail today, but a Pacific low will approach from over the Desert SW on Saturday and then move overhead on Sunday. The result will be increasing winds on Saturday with elevated to near critical fire weather conditions across far western NM. Stronger winds are forecast on Sunday as the Pacific low moves over the region, but slightly higher humidity will limit critical fire weather conditions across northern portions of the area. However, critical fire weather conditions are likely across the east central plains on Sunday. A more significant critical fire weather pattern is setting up for early next week when strong winds develop as a potent system sweeps east across the region. Monday will likely be the more widespread critical day with warm and unstable conditions ahead of an approaching Pacific cold front, forecast to push through Monday evening. ................................................................ Ventilation category, mixing height and transport winds for each Fire Weather Zone are based on the following points. Note: Maximum transport winds may not occur at the same time as maximum mixing heights.
