Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
625 AM MDT Sat Jul 26 2025

.DISCUSSION...
There will be very isolated showers and perhaps a thunderstorm over
the Sacramento Mountains this afternoon, but for most, it`ll be a
down day in terms of monsoonal precipitation. Rather dry air has
moved into SW New Mexico, with dewpoints in the 20s and 30s. Min
RH values this afternoon will drop to the 10 to 14 percent range
across most areas west of the Tularosa Basin. Moisture will begin
to return on SE winds Sunday, especially east of the Divide,
with a further increase in moisture and thunderstorm coverage
starting on Monday. Moisture and precip coverage will tend to be
more focused west of the Rio Grande later in the week.

&&

...Percentages shown in the sky/weather portion reflect
sky cover amount...

...Mean elevations used to obtain mixing heights as follows:
Zone 110 - Reserve   (5900 ft)
Zone 111 - Deming    (4300 ft)
Zone 112 - Las Cruces(3900 ft)
Zone 113 - Ruidoso   (6900 ft)

Ventilation categories are determined by criteria established
by the state of New Mexico.
