Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
140 PM MDT Mon May 27 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Hot and dry conditions will continue with high temperatures in
the 90s for the lowlands with a few 100 degree temps possible.
RH`s each afternoon will be falling into the single digits for
much of the CWA, only area that may get a few RH`s in the teens
would be the eastern Sacs when the dryline flirts with that area
later in the week. Winds each afternoon will be in the 10-20 mph
range, so near critical fire weather conditions are expected. Vent
rates of excellent will be widespread through the upcoming week.
