URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM 207 PM MDT Sun May 18 2025 ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY AND MONDAY FOR SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS... .An upper level disturbance slowly moving across the central Rockies will induce lee side troughing across eastern Colorado and New Mexico today and Monday. Embedded upper level impulses will bring stronger winds aloft into southern New Mexico. The result will be gusty west-southwest winds today, and west to west- northwest winds on Monday, with gusts approaching 45 mph at times. Meanwhile, minimum RH values will remain well into the single digits across the lowlands today, with minimal improvement on Monday. This will result in several hours of critical fire weather conditions through this evening and returning again early Monday afternoon.
