.A weather pattern conducive for large fire growth will develop
Sunday and continue through Wednesday as a broad trough develops
over the western United States keeping the flow over New Mexico
dry and windy. The strongest winds and critically low relative
humidity values Sunday will favor the central mountain chain and
northeast highlands westward. Then, relative humidity plummets
over eastern areas as well on Monday. Winds will strengthen over
central and eastern areas late Monday morning, but not until mid
afternoon farther west.

* AREA AND TIMING...Northwest Plateau (Zone 101), West Central
Mountains (Zone 105), and West Central Basin and Range (Zone
109) Sunday from noon until 10 PM MDT, and Monday from 3 PM
until 10 PM.

* 20 FOOT WINDS...On Sunday, southwest at 20 to 35 mph with gusts
up to 50 mph. On Monday, west at 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to
40 mph.

* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...8-18 percent.

* IMPACTS...Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly
and will be hard to control. Long range spotting and extreme
fire behavior will be possible. Outdoor burning should not be
done.
