THIS LONG DRY SPELL IN NEW MEXICO HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FIRE DANGER…AND WHAT KIND OF FIRE SEASON WE’LL HAVE THIS SPRING. BUT THERE ARE ENCOURAGING SIGNS. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST ANDY CHURCH SAYS…FINALLY…WE COULD BE IN FOR SOME PRECIPITATION. HE SAYS A STRONG STORM SYSTEM SHOULD ARRIVE BY THE MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK.
IT’S BEEN THREE MONTHS SINCE ALBUQUERQUE HAS HAD ANY RAIN OR SNOW. CHURCH SAYS WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION SOON, WE COULD SEE AN EARLY FIRE SEASON IN NEW MEXICO.
