.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1055 AM MDT Sat Nov 1 2025

A weak cool front has pushed through much of the forecast area and
high temps this afternoon will be about 2-10 degrees cooler than
yesterday. This will not last long as an upper ridge builds in
through Sunday and we start to see a gradual warmup going into
next week. Surface and upper level winds shift around to the west
by Tuesday allowing the warmer air to continue through the week
with near record highs. Models and ensemble means continue to be
in good agreement with this main synoptic pattern over the area
into next weekend.

NBM temps continue to be warm on overnight lows with very dry air
in place, especially in the typical cold valleys. I also trended
high temps up a little bit as we get into Tue-Fri as westerly
surface winds should allow for almost full mixing, even with an
early Nov sun angle. Record highs in El Paso are in the 84-87
range, think we will stay short of these, but a couple days could
get within a degree or 2. No precip expected through the period.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1055 AM MDT Sat Nov 1 2025

P6SM SKC-FEW250 through the period. Winds will be under 10KTS and
be south to southeast for areas east of the RGV and more variable
to the west.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1055 AM MDT Sat Nov 1 2025

Warm and dry conditions will be the norm across the area for the
upcoming week. Temperatures will be slowly warming the next few
days with some near record highs possible by midweek. Min RH`s
will be falling into the teens, but the winds will remain well
below critical thresholds. Vent rates will range from Poor to Good
for the next several days with better rates further north.
