Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM

.DISCUSSION...
Very dry conditions will continue with tomorrow no different. Poor
overnight recoveries are expected tonight again with min RH values
well into the single digits by Friday afternoon. There is some
uncertainty with recoveries and subsequent minimums for the
Sacramento Mountains. Enough moisture may be present for dry
thunder. Otherwise winds will top out around 10 to 15 MPH with
very good to excellent venting. On Saturday, most of the area will
see similar conditions as Friday, but eastern areas will see a
chance for isolated thunder, including dry lightning.
