712 FNUS55 KABQ 160625 FWFABQ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for North and Central New Mexico National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 1225 AM MDT Thu Oct 16 2025 .DISCUSSION... Critical fire weather conditions are not forecast through the next seven days. Winds and humidity may reach critical threshold on Monday across northeast New Mexcio ahead of a cold front, but fuels will be unreceptive to large fire growth. In the meantime, a disturbance moving from Utah toward the central and southern Rockies will steer much drier air over the area and humidity will trend down areawide. A warming and drying trend is forecast from Friday through the weekend with deteriorating vent rates due to a stable atmosphere provided by weak high pressure. ................................................................ Experimental Max RFTI, 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.
