.DISCUSSION...
Overall fire weather concerns remain low over the next several
days. Minimum RHs will reach below 10-15% each day through
Tuesday mainly west of the Pecos River. Areas to the east will
see better moisture returns. Isolated storms will be possible
each afternoon over the higher terrain and could lead to lightning
starts. Light winds will keep the risk for fire spread low.
Better moisture reaches areas to the west late this coming week.
