Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
221 PM MDT Tue Jun 3 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Elevated fire danger each day through the weekend due to critical
min RH values. Our saving grace will be the light winds each day.
Tomorrow will be the breeziest of the period with wind speeds
10-20 mph. Otherwise expect winds generally 5-15 mph each
afternoon with light winds overnight. Rain chances look bleak, but
the Sacramento Mtns and eastern locations of the forecast area
will have the best chances. Ventilation rates will be very good to
excellent each day.
