Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
709 AM MST Fri Nov 28 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions with light west to southwest flow will prevail
today and Saturday. Despite seasonably cool mornings, afternoon
temperatures will run about 8-10 degrees above normal. A weak
backdoor cold front will drop temperatures to near normal on
Sunday. Vent rates will see some improvement today, but lighter
winds on Saturday will drop them back to Poor to Fair again. But
next week should see some improvements in the wake of an upper
level disturbance that will graze the northern half of New
Mexico.
