While fuel moisture remains near normal in portions of western and central New Mexico, the fast drying of fine fuels may support rapid fire spread. Wind speeds were the limiting factor that contributed to only upgrading a portion of the Red Flag Warning on Wednesday. Windy and dry conditions will continue on Thursday, with critical conditions most likely across eastern New Mexico. * AREA AND TIMING...Northwest Plateau (Zone 101), West Central Mountains (Zone 105), Middle Rio Grande Valley (Zone 106), North Central Mountains (Zone 120), Sangre de Cristo Mountains (Zone 122), and Sandia and Manzano Mountains (Zone 124) for Wednesday from 11 AM until 9 PM MDT. * 20 FOOT WINDS...Southwest to west winds 20 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 40 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...Minimum values of 6 to 11 percent with the lowest values in the Middle Rio Grande Valley. * IMPACTS...Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly.
