.DISCUSSION...
Overall fire weather concerns stay low over the next few days.
Critical RHs will be seen each afternoon for areas mainly to the
west of the Pecos River with poor recoveries each night. Fuels will
gradually cure. Better recoveries to the east and recent wetting
rains will keep fire concerns lower compared to the west.
