Remember... a High Wind Warning means damaging winds are imminent
or highly likely. Sustained wind speeds of at least 40 mph or
gusts of 58 mph or more can lead to property damage.

The following message is transmitted at the request of the New
Mexico departments of health and environment.

The smoke plume from the Whitewater Baldy fire complex will shift
east tonight as a cold front pushes through New Mexico. Transport
winds oriented from southwest to northeast will become more west
to east through Sunday. This will force the smoke plume out of
western New Mexico and into the Rio Grande Valley tonight then
into areas from Socorro County east across Torrance and Lincoln
counties Sunday.

Areas immediately northeast of the fire complex will be most
significantly impacted through Sunday. Areas that will be most
impacted tonight include but are not limited to Magdalena...
Alamo... Belen... the Albuquerque Metro area... and Santa Fe.

If heavy smoke is present... outdoor activities should be
minimized. Remember... your eyes are your best tools to determine
if it is safe to be outside. If visibility is ten miles or
higher... the air quality is good... six to nine miles... air quality
is moderate... three to five miles... air quality is unhealthy for
sensitive people... one and a half to two and a half miles... air
quality is unhealthy... one to one and a quarter miles... air
quality is very unhealthy... and three quarters of a mile or

most significantly impacted... including but not limited to the
communities of Quemado... Quemado Lake... Magdalena... Alamo and the
Acoma Pueblo. Farther downstream... smoke impacts will expand to include
areas along the Rio Grande Valley from Socorro to Belen to Albuquerque
as well as Los Alamos... White Rock and the Santa Fe Metro area.

In addition to smoke impacts... areas of blowing dust are likely
across portions of area later today and especially on Saturday
further impacting visibility and air quality.
