Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
227 PM MDT Sat Sep 21 2024

.DISCUSSION...
We will see this afternoon`s gusty winds drop off around sunset
and our winds tonight will be generally light. On Sunday cooler
air will push into the region as our surface winds swing around to
the east. We could see some gusty winds on the west slopes of
area mountains. We will be dry on Sunday, but rain chances creep
back into the region for Monday through Wednesday for locations
east of the Rio Grande. Min RH`s the next couple of days will be
in the teens in the lowlands and above 20% in area mountains. Then
min RH`s will rise above 20% across the whole region through the
end of the coming week.
