Temperatures will warm for tomorrow, which combined with slightly drier air, will lead to lower min RH values, decreasing to the upper teens in the lowlands. Scattered mountain and isolated lowland storms are expected. Saturday looks even warmer and a little drier in the afternoon, with another round of at least scattered mountain and isolated lowland thunderstorms. Winds, apart from thunderstorm outflows, will top out around 10 MPH. Venting will range fair to very good for Friday, and good to very good for Saturday. && ...Percentages shown in the sky/weather portion reflect sky cover amount... ...Mean elevations used to obtain mixing heights as follows: Zone 110 - Reserve (5900 ft) Zone 111 - Deming (4300 ft) Zone 112 - Las Cruces(3900 ft) Zone 113 - Ruidoso (6900 ft) Ventilation categories are determined by criteria established by the state of New Mexico.
