This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of north and central
New Mexico.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

There is an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms for the eastern
plains of New Mexico this afternoon into the early evening hours.
The primary hazards will be large hail and damaging winds; however,
a tornado or two cannot be ruled out. Meanwhile, virga showers and
downburst winds are possible across central New Mexico during the
afternoon hours.

Widespread strong winds will impact areas along and south of the
Interstate 40 corridor in western and central New Mexico and lee of
the central mountain chain. Peak wind gusts up to 50 mph will result
in hazardous cross winds. Low relative humidities will combine with
the winds to create critical fire weather conditions for areas along
and south of southern McKinley to Torrance counties. Any fires that
develop will have the ability to spread rapidly.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Strong to damaging winds are forecast for the northeast and central
highlands in eastern New Mexico on Monday afternoon. This will also
create dangerous cross winds along the Interstate 40 corridor from
Clines Corners to Santa Rosa.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be required from 12pm to 9pm MDT for areas
along and east of Colfax to Chaves Counties in eastern New Mexico
due to the potential for severe thunderstorms.

URGENT - WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
1037 AM MDT Sun May 26 2019

...STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS TO IMPACT A GOOD PORTION OF CENTRAL NEW
MEXICO...

.An upper level disturbance will bring strong south to southwest
winds through much central New Mexico today with peak gusts of 45
to 55mph. Winds will begin to pick up by noon, peaking from 2pm

produce hazardous travel conditions for high profile vehicles on
east-to-west highways, including the I-40 corridor. Lightweight
objects may be tossed about.
