Wildfire Smoke Heat and Storms | Albuquerque News

Wildfire smoke haze blankets the northern and western parts of the state, while the Sacaton Fire in the Gila Wilderness rages over 9,000 acres—crews racing to protect cabins. Albuquerque’s new business grant program is giving local spots a much-needed boost. Heat surges into eastern New Mexico and the Pecos Valley, with temps nearing 100°F, while higher elevations stay cooler. Isolated thunderstorms, especially in the mountains, could bring hail, wind, and lightning—but also help ease wildfire danger. Moisture from both the northwest and Gulf is colliding, promising more storms tomorrow, before drier, hotter air returns later in the week.
