ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Forecasters with the National Weather Service are warning of windy conditions across New Mexico.
The combination of strong to potentially damaging winds and extremely dry conditions have resulted in critical to extreme fire danger along the Rio Grande from Albuquerque to Socorro and across the eastern plains.
Blowing dust is reducing visibility in some parts of the state.
Forecasters on Monday reported gusts of nearly 80 mph near Red River and over 70 mph east of Los Alamos. Several other communities around the state reported gusts over 50 mph.
