Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas

231 PM MST Thu Nov 6 2025
.DISCUSSION...
We will be dry with min RH`s in the teens in the lowlands and near
20% in area mountains for Friday and Saturday. We will see a back
door cold front move across the region on Sunday. The front will
give us cooler temperatures and breezy to windy conditions,
especially on the west slopes of area mountains. Both the winds
and min RH`s on Sunday will be near critical levels so we will see
elevated fire weather conditions Sunday afternoon. Our dry
weather will continue into the first of next week, but our winds
will be much lower.
