STRENGTHENING WINDS ALOFT LATER TONIGHT WILL BRING AT LEAST 25 TO
NEARLY 45 MPH SUSTAINED WINDS TO HIGHER PEAKS AND THE HIGHEST RIDGES
ACROSS N AND CENTRAL NM. SOME GUSTS MAY REACH OR APPROACH THE 50 TO
60 MPH RANGE LATER ON TONIGHT. WIND DIRECTION TO EASE MORE TO A WEST
TO EAST DIRECTION. THE HIGHER SPEEDS WILL FAVOR THE CENTRAL MTN
CHAIN AND PERHAPS THE HIGHER TERRAIN NEAR CHAMA. THIS WILL EXPAND
SOUTH BY LATER MORN OR AFTN TUE NIGHT...AND TO A LITTLE LESSER
DEGREE ALSO ENCOMPASS THE WRN MTS. THE HIGH WINDS WILL DROP OFF
NOTICEABLY TO THE EAST ACROSS THE E PLAINS...BUT STILL REMAIN NEAR

OR A BIT UNDER 15 PERCENT AND THAT STILL MAINTAINS A MARGINAL 3 TO 5
HOUR WINDOW OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER WELL UNDER HALF
OF THAT FIRE WX ZONE. DUE TO ONLY 4 TO BARELY 5 HAINES AND THE FACT
THAT TIME...COVERAGE AND MAGNITUDE OF CRITICAL RISK IS MARGINAL...IT
WAS DECIDED TO KEEP THE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FIRE WX WATCH A WATCH.
VENTILATION WILL BE GOOD TO EXCELLENT MOST AREAS TUESDAY...THOUGH A
FEW POCKETS OF POOR TO FAIR VENTILATION MAY LINGER ACROSS PARTS OF

FROM THE TEENS TO MID 30S...WHILE REST OF FCST AREA WILL BE ROUGHLY
8 TO 16 DEGREES BELOW THE NORM. VENT RATES WED WILL BE GOOD TO
EXCELLENT FOR MOST AREAS AS THE STRONG MOUNTAIN TOP LEVEL WINDS
PERSIST...BUT BECOME FOCUSED MORE OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OR SO OF
THE FCST AREA. CHANCES FOR WETTING PRECIPITATION INCREASE LATER WED
INTO THU AS THE COLD AIR OVERSPREADS THE FORECAST AREA AND A COLD
UPPER TROUGH IS CARVED OUT OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ROCKIES.
CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION DIMINISH FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND...
ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN AREAS...BUT THE COLD AIR WILL LINGER THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. VENT RATES WILL BE AT LEAST GOOD TO VERY GOOD SW TWO THIRDS
