A persistent trough over the Desert Southwest will bring above
normal temperatures, very dry to exceptionally dry air, AND
breezy to windy conditions Sunday onward. Winds will be strongest
on Monday and perhaps Tuesday. This will combine with very dry
fuels to create critical fire conditions over much of southwest
and south-central New Mexico. A fire weather watch has been
issued for Monday afternoon as a result.

* AFFECTED AREA...Southwest and South-central New Mexico,
including the Lincoln and Gila National Forest.

* WIND...West to Southwest Winds 15 to 25 MPH gusting to 30 MPH.

* HUMIDITY...5 to 9 Percent, 8 to 11 percent above 7500 feet.

* EXPERIMENTAL RFTI...4 to 6 Near Critical to Critical

* IMPACTS...any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly.
Outdoor burning is not recommended.

A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions
