Strong winds and low relative humidity values are also expected across eastern New Mexico, however recent rainfall and ongoing greenup will mitigate the critical fire weather concerns. * AREA AND TIMING...Northwest Plateau (Zone 101), West Central Mountains (Zone 105), Middle Rio Grande Valley (Zone 106), West Central Basin and Range (Zone 109), and the Sandia and Manzano Mountains (Zone 124) from 1 PM to 8 PM MDT today. * 20 FOOT WINDS...West to southwest 25 to 35 mph with occasional gusts to 50 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...6 to 12 percent. * IMPACTS...Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended..
