Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas

.DISCUSSION...
Monsoon moisture will remain in place through Thursday. Precipitation
coverage today will be lower than the past couple of days, and focused
east of the Rio Grande. More widely spread showers are expected on
Wednesday and Thursday before a drying trend. Westerly flow aloft on
Friday will bring in drier air aloft, and upper level high pressure
will build in over the weekend, allowing temperatures to slowly climb.
Minimum RH values will also drop back into the lower to middle 10s
across the lowlands over the weekend. Precip chances will look to
only slowly increase next week as high pressure begins to creep
northward.
