Red Flag Warning issued March 6 at 10:45AM MST until March 6 at 7:00PM MST by NWS El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE CAPITAN AND SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS... .Developing surface low over the OK/TX Panhandle will keep winds strong across eastern and southern New Mexico this afternoon. Winds out of the west 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph are expected. These winds combined with low RH of 8 to 14% will create Near Critical fire weather conditions in the Sacramento Mountains and Lincoln National Forest. Conditions are expected to reach Red Flag criteria for a few hours this afternoon. While large fuels like timber are not currently susceptible to wildfire, fine fuels like grasses and brush are at higher risk. * AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zone 113 Capitan and Sacramento Mountains/Lincoln NF/LNZ. * TIMING...10 AM TO 7 PM Friday. * WINDS...West 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...8 to 14 percent. * RED FLAG THREAT INDEX...3 to 4, Near Critical. * IMPACTS...Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior.
Fire Weather Watch issued March 6 at 6:40PM MST until March 8 at 8:00PM MST by NWS Albuquerque NM
...FIRE WEATHER WATCH SUNDAY FROM NOON UNTIL 9 PM FOR THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS AND EASTERN PLAINS DUE TO STRONG WIND AND LOW HUMIDITY. .The threat for critical fire weather returns on Sunday, as a surface trough is forecast to redevelop in the lee of the southern Rockies while temperatures warm well above normal.

There is a roughly 30 percent chance that critical fire weather conditions will return to northeast and east central areas on Monday. * AREA AND TIMING...This includes the Northeast Plains (Zone 104), Northeast Highlands (Zone 123), and East Central Plains (Zone 126) from noon through 9 PM MDT Sunday. * 20 FOOT WINDS...Sustained from the southwest at 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...Minimum values between 6 to 15 percent Sunday. * IMPACTS...Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly.
