Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
1254 PM MDT Tue Sep 2 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Above normal temperatures can be expected through Thursday with
just a few isolated thunderstorms in the higher terrain with
limited moisture to work with. Min RH`s the next couple of days
will be falling into the mid teens to mid 20s. Going into the end
of the week, there will be some remnant tropical moisture that
moves up into the region, still some question as to how much will
make it up this way. There will be cool down in temperatures and
rising RH`s. Temperatures warm and RH`s dry out by early next
week.
