.DISCUSSION...

Dry conditions with increasing winds shifting southwesterly in
the afternoon. Gusts are expected to stay under 25 mph. MinRH will
fall into the lower to mid 30 percent range. An incoming storm
system on Sunday will bring strengthening winds, increased
moisture, and a chance for precipitation. Gusts to 35 mph can be
expected in the afternoon. Wetting rainfall is unlikely. After a
transition day on Monday, another system will make its way towards
western NM, bringing better chances for wetting rainfall.
