220 AM MDT Thu Apr 25 2024
...CRITICAL TO EXTREME FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ON THURSDAY...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ON SATURDAY...
.Deep southwest flow will increase this afternoon with the
passage of an upper level jet streak. Deep surface low over
eastern Colorado will extend a strong pressure gradient southward
into New Mexico and west Texas, leading to strong winds area wide
during the daytime hours today. West-southwest winds with
sustained speeds of 30 to 40 mph and peak gusts around 55 mph
combined with very low relative humidity values will lead to
critical fire weather conditions and the risk of rapid fire start
and spread. Fuel moisture had dried rapidly this month,
especially along the desert lowlands, due to preexisting drought
status and lack of recent precipitation. Winds subsiding overnight
into Friday morning, picking back up again Friday and Saturday
afternoons. On Saturday, particularly, there is high confidence
much of the Rio Grande Valley, Tularosa Basin, and far West Texas
will see critical fire concerns again.
