...SMOKE FROM WILDFIRES IN THE GILA REGION TO MOVE NORTH AND EAST
ACROSS NEW MEXICO THROUGH SATURDAY...
AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF HIGH WIND AND DRY CONDITIONS IS FORECAST THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. THIS PERSISTENT PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO
RESULT IN EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS NORTHERN
AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO THROUGH SATURDAY. STRONG WEST SOUTHWEST WINDS
HAVE ALREADY SPREAD SMOKE FROM THE WHITEWATER-BALDY FIRE COMPLEX IN
THE GILA REGION ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO. PLUME-BEARING
WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE SOUTHWESTERLY THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT AND PERSIST FROM THIS SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST DIRECTION
FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THESE WINDS WILL CARRY ANY ADDITIONAL
WILDFIRE SMOKE ORIGINATING FROM THE GILA REGION TODAY TOWARD
POPULATED AREAS WITHIN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY FROM SOCORRO NORTH TO
ALBUQUERQUE AND SANTA FE.
PRIMARY IMPACTS WILL BE AREAS OF REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND THE
ASSOCIATED HEALTH CONCERNS DUE TO DETERIORATING AIR QUALITY.
VISIBILITY IS OFTEN THE BEST INDICATOR OF AIR QUALITY. WHEN IT IS
TWO MILES OR LESS...AIR QUALITY IS CONSIDERED TO BE VERY UNHEALTHY
OR HAZARDOUS. MORE DETAILED INFORMATION WILL BE FORTHCOMING FROM
LOCAL AND STATE OFFICIALS AS FORECAST CONFIDENCE INCREASES.
