URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM 1229 AM MDT Sun Mar 15 2026 ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS SUNDAY FOR FAR WEST TEXAS AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO... A passing upper level disturbance will bring breezy to strong west-northwest winds and critical fire weather conditions to the area today. Relative humidity values remain low for Fire Weather Zone 113 this morning as winds strengthen. The timing of critical fire weather conditions is unusual today as winds subside this afternoon; the strongest winds will overlap higher relative humidities. Also, rapid drying of fuels and presence of dead fuels in both the Gila and Lincoln National Forests have increased the risk of fire spread. Winds will shift northwesterly then north later in the day as a strong cold front arrives.
