.DISCUSSION...
Overall fire weather concerns remain low over the next several
days. Minimum RHs will reach below 10-15% each day mainly west of
the Pecos River. Areas to the east will see better moisture
returns. Isolated storms will be possible each afternoon over the
higher terrain and could lead to lightning starts. Light winds
will keep the risk for fire spread low. Better moisture reaches
areas to the west late this coming week.
