Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
612 AM MDT Mon Apr 22 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns will increase throughout the week. We begin
to dry out today as winds shift southerly and then southwest for
Tuesday. Winds increase a bit Tuesday and Wednesday with mostly
elevated conditions. Two upper troughs then move through the
region late in the week, increasing winds and fire danger starting
on Thursday. There will be little to no chance of precip with
these two systems. Temperatures rebound to above normal today.
