High Winds and Elevated Fire Danger Expected Across New Mexico This Weekend
New Mexico residents should prepare for strong winds and increased fire risks this weekend. A storm system moving out of the region will lead to gusts up to 65 mph along and east of the central mountain chain, with 50 mph gusts possible across the eastern half of the state. Elsewhere, winds may reach 30-40 mph. These conditions are expected to persist until Wednesday night. (krqe.com)

Travelers should be aware that strong winds may cause blowing dust, reducing visibility and potentially leading to hazardous driving conditions. The National Weather Service recommends that motorists avoid driving into dust storms and pull aside to stay safe. (independent.co.uk)
Looking ahead, another storm system is expected to arrive early next week, bringing colder temperatures and additional chances for snow, particularly in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Residents are encouraged to stay updated with local weather forecasts and take necessary precautions during this period of active weather. (krqe.com)
