CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE MONDAY SOUTHWEST NM AND FOR SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS TUESDAY... .Approaching low pressure system moving on shore over the Pacific Northwest will induce stronger southwest flow aloft across the southwest this week. Subsequent tightening of the surface pressure gradient will increase winds areawide. Strongest winds are forecast to occur Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, but will be picking up out west by Monday afternoon. Already present dry air will create critical fire danger for much of southern New Mexico and far west Texas. Recent rains over mountain forests may reduce fire risk somewhat, but weather conditions will be favorable for rapid drying of fine fuels and increasing ERCs back above seasonal normals.

Investigative Reporter
Back in February in the Grant County Beat was alerted to the incident of a police officer killing a baby rabbit and given the criminal case number. The crime had taken place on February 13. The Beat filed an Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA) on the 21st with the New Mexico Department Public Safety.
What has been requested was a copy of the Police Report.
Some state agencies will take up to 15 days. In contrast, the Silver City Police Department can print a copy within minutes.
On March 11, the Beat received a notice that due to the "Over Burdensome nature of the request" additional time was needed, and the police report wouldn't be available until March 26.

The Letter of No Confidence in the Hidalgo Medical Services leadership sent to the HMS Board of Directors has resulted in a reply inviting those who signed the letter to participate later in the month at 2 p.m. in Lordsburg, following their regular baord meeting, according to a source speaking to the Beat.
Most physicians and other health care practitioners cannot just up and leave their jobs in midday in Lordsburg or especially Silver City because of travel time. They already have appointments set up with patients at that time of day.
