Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
532 AM MDT Mon Aug 10 2026

.DISCUSSION...
Low fire danger over the next several days due to wetness of
local forests. Isolated (20-40%) thunderstorms each afternoon for
Gila NF, but much of Lincoln NF will remain dry through Tuesday.
Increasing moisture will allow for more widespread rain chances
late this week. Storms will pose a risk of localized flash
flooding and erratic outflow winds over mountains. Light SE winds
today, shifting to the SW Tuesday through the rest of the week.
20-ft wind speeds 10 to 15 mph Wednesday/Thursday. Good
ventilation rates each afternoon. Min RH 15-25%, with moisture
increasing after Wednesday.
