Wind Advisory Statement as of 3:15 PM MDT on May 11, 2008

... Wind Advisory in effect from 1 PM to 9 PM MDT Monday...

The National Weather Service in Albuquerque has issued a Wind
Advisory... which is in effect from 1 PM to 9 PM MDT Monday.

Expect southwest winds at speeds from 25 to 35 mph with gusts from
45 to 50 mph. The strongest winds will favor the high terrain and
locations east of the northern and central mountains. Blowing dust
will drop the visibility below 1 mile at times in dust prone
locations. Drivers of high profile vehicles should anticipate
dangerous cross winds on northwest to southeast oriented
roadways... such as U.S. Highway 285 from Eldorado to Roswell and
U.S. Highway 550 from Bloomfield to Cuba.

Motorists should exercise caution while driving in the Wind
Advisory area. Sudden gusts of wind may cause you to lose control
of your vehicle. Extra attention should be given to cross winds.

Fire Weather Watch Statement as of 1:06 PM MDT on May 11, 2008/

... Fire Weather Watch remains in effect from Monday morning
through Monday evening...

On Monday... southwest to west winds of 25 to 35 mph and
temperatures in the 90s will result in minimum humidities below 10
percent. In addition... fire danger will remain very high.

Do not throw cigarettes onto the ground or out of a moving
vehicle. Keep vehicles on driving surfaces... and do not drive
through tall grass. Avoid activities that may produce outdoor
flames or Sparks. Accidental ignitions will have the potential to
grow rapidly into dangerous wind-driven wildfires.

Forecast as of 4:47 PM MDT on May 11, 2008

South and southwest winds gusting to 40 mph will continue through early evening...with strongest winds over summits and hilltops... through gaps and passes...and below canyons.
