High fire danger continues Monday

An unusually high fire danger for this time of year continues into this upcoming week. Hot temperatures, dry air and windy weather will combine to create these conditions.
A combination of heat, dry air and windy weather has caused the first ever Red Flag Warning to be issued in the month of August for northwestern and northern New Mexico Sunday. Winds will die down overnight, but the fire threat will continue this week. Albuquerque broke a record high temperature Sunday afternoon.
