Red Flag Warning
URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM 954 PM MDT Mon May 6 2024 ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH WEDNESDAY... A persistent trough over the Northern Rockies will maintain dry west flow across the U.S. Southwest over the next couple days. Disturbances within this prevailing flow will allow winds to increase area-wide into the middle of the week. Gusty winds will develop each afternoon combining with very low relative humidity to create critical to extreme fire danger. Recent lack of precipitation has progressed fuel dryness to a point where wildfire starts will be possible and spread aided by weather conditions.
