.DISCUSSION...
Deep and dry westerly flow pattern will keep all fire zones across Southern
New Mexico and Far West Texas quite warm and very dry. Expect few to
no storms today, as drier air is back in place. Temperatures will
continue well above normal. Minimum RH will fall well into the single
digits over much of the region. These conditions will continue through
at least Wednesday. Wednesday and beyond an easterly influence from
the Plains will begin to introduce gulf moisture back into the region.
Late week, through the weekend, will bring improved RH and chances
for showers and storms.
