Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
621 AM MDT Sun Jun 2 2024

.DISCUSSION...
We will continue to be very warm, and dry with occasionally breezy
winds each afternoon over the next few days. Min RH`s today
through Tuesday will be in the single digits in the lowlands and
near 10% in area mountains. Then for Wednesday through Friday we
will see a little moisture creep into the region, so our min RH`s
those days will range from 10 to 15% in the lowlands to 15 to 30%
in area mountains. Along with the increased moisture we will see a
slight chance for rain for the end of the coming week. We will
also be on a warming trend starting Tuesday with high temperatures
well above average by Thursday.
