A NUMBER OF WEATHER FACTORS ARE COMBINING TO INCREASE THE FIRE DANGER IN NEW MEXICO THIS WEEK. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST TIM SHY SAYS WE'LL HAVE WARM TEMPERATURES, STRONG WINDS AND VERY LOW HUMIDITY. PLUS, HE SAYS THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE UNSTABLE.
BY THIS TIME OF YEAR, ALBUQUERQUE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE THAN TWO INCHES OF MOISTURE…BUT THE ACTUAL TOTAL IS ONLY ABOUT ONE-FIFTH OF THAT.
