.DISCUSSION...
...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS CONTINUE FOR THE NORTHERN
SACRAMENTO FOOTHILLS IN CHAVES COUNTY, NEW MEXICO THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON...
Warmer than average temperatures, gusty southwest winds, fuel
ERCs in the 50th-74th percentile, and min RH near to below
critical 15% will continue to lead to elevated fire weather
conditions today. Lighter winds constrain fire risk for the rest
of the week despite warmer than average temperatures and a warming
trend into late week.

Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather
Service Office.
