...New AVIATION...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1140 AM MDT Sun Jun 28 2026

- Dry and windy conditions will continue today, increasing the
  threat of rapid fire spread and large fire growth across much of
  northern and central New Mexico. Critical fire weather
  conditions will likely persist across northeast New Mexico
  through early week.

- There will be a moderate risk of heat-induced illness for
  sensitive groups in eastern New Mexico today.

- Chances for thunderstorms will trend up across far eastern New
  Mexico Tuesday and Wednesday, with a low to moderate probability
  for storms to become severe.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 1218 AM MDT Sun Jun 28 2026

An upper level trough/low will swing east across the Intermountain
West through Monday as second upper low drops southeast over
California. This pattern will keep dry southwest flow aloft in
place over much of the region, bringing breezy to windy and
continued hot conditions. Smoke from area wildfires may begin to
impact locales across western NM, especially by Monday. Highs
across the eastern plains will reach up into the upper 90s and low
100s, bringing a moderate risk of heat-induced illness for
sensitive groups. Lastly, a few showers or storms can not be ruled
out across the southeast plains today and Monday, with
strong/erratic wind gusts being the primary impact. Severe
probabilities are very low across the southeast plains today and
Monday.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 1218 AM MDT Sun Jun 28 2026

Dry southwest flow aloft will provide continued hot and breezy to
windy conditions across western NM through Wednesday. Gulf
moisture advection will come to the eastern plains Tue/Wed and
result in improving chances for showers and storms, with
temperatures closer to seasonal averages. Low to moderate
probabilities for severe storms across eastern NM on Tue/Wed, with
both shear and instability on the upswing. Flow aloft will weaken
from Thursday through the weekend as the jet stream retreats north
and allows the Monsoon high a shot at getting established. There
is some model spread with regard to the synoptic features going
into the weekend and that spread is resulting in notable
differences in modeled PWATs. The 00Z GFS is more bullish on
moisture advection and shows the levels reaching 1.0" in KABQ by
late Sunday. The NBM is weighted more toward the drier ECMWF and
hence our PoPs are lower for the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1140 AM MDT Sun Jun 28 2026

Gusty SW winds are beginning to mix down to the sfc, with gusts
as high as 40 knots already being recorded in a few locations. SW
winds of 15 to 30 knots will be commonplace around the region
today, with the highest gusts near the western and northern high
terrain. There is a low chance (~30%) that KABQ reaches AWW
criteria (35 knots) mid to late afternoon between 23Z and 02Z.

Winds will remain elevated through the night around the high
terrain of the northern mountains, particularly the Sangre de
Cristo mtns where mtn wave activity is likely. This will also
create significant LLWS in this area between 09Z and 15Z
tomorrow.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1218 AM MDT Sun Jun 28 2026

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY WEEK...

A fire growth pattern is in place and will continue through early
week as troughing persist over the western US, with dry southwest
flow aloft over much of NM. The highest forecast confidence in
critical fire weather conditions beyond today will be across
northeast NM Mon/Tue due to stronger winds from persistent lee
side troughing. However, the driest conditions will be across
western NM and especially across northwest areas where the number
of hours of single digit humidity will expand each day through
Wednesday. Gulf moisture advection will come to the eastern plains
Tue/Wed, with good to excellent humidity recovery and chances for
wetting storms trending up. The jet stream is still forecast to
retreat northward toward the end of the week and through next
weekend, allowing the Monsoon high to get established. This will
bring an end to breezy/windy conditions and will lead to a gradual
uptrend in humidity and chances for wetting storms.
