However, chances become much lower west of the Pecos River Valley.
Min RHs stay above 15% and recoveries will be fair to excellent
across much of the region. ERCs are around or below the 50th
percentile. Fronts will be seen during the early and middle part of
next week and shift winds out of the north.
