Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
136 PM MDT Tue Jun 25 2024

...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM MDT THURSDAY...

.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns will be minimal through the period.
Monsoonal moisture remains in place through next weekend, keeping
relative humidities high and resulting in daily chances for showers
and thunderstorms. Overnight recoveries will be very good. Winds
will be light outside of gusty outflow boundaries from storms. An
elevated risk of flash flooding on Wednesday and then this weekend
may result in debris flows over burn scars. Temperatures will be
hot on Wednesday, cooling a bit later in the week.
