Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
100 PM MDT Tue Oct 7 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Persistent east-southeast flow through the end of the week will
keep RH`s in the 20s/30s through Fri. There will be some scattered
showers and storms through Wednesday followed by dry weather for
Thu/Fri. The breakdown of an upper ridge will bring a surge of
moisture from the west going into the weekend and early next week
with some widespread wetting rains and higher RH`s/cooler temps.
Winds over the I-10 corridor may be a concern through Friday with
sustained speeds of 15-30mph possible, especially west of Deming.
