956 FNUS55 KABQ 221159 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 459 AM MST Wed Jan 22 2025 .DISCUSSION... Exceptionally dry air over western NM with breezy northwest winds today will lead to another day of marginally critical fire weather. Minimum humidity will fall to near 10% south and west of Albuquerque with wind gusts of 25 to 35 mph over western NM. A backdoor cold front entering eastern NM today will bring another blast of cold air but with increasing moisture levels. A few snow showers are possible tonight and Thursday along the Sangre de Cristos. Breezy west winds and warmer temperatures return Friday before the next backdoor cold front arrives Saturday. A pattern change may begin by Sunday with a potential winter storm moving slowly east through Wednesday. On or about February 1, 2025, the NWS will discontinue Haines Index and Lightning Activity Level (LAL) in all Fire Weather Products. The discontinuation is due to new science demonstrating the forecast information is best assessed through other forecast fields.
