627 WWUS84 KEPZ 112012 RFWEPZ URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM 212 PM MDT Tue Mar 11 2025 ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY AND THURSDAY... .West to southwest winds will continue to increase this afternoon well ahead of an upper level low off the California coast as RH values continue to drop into the single digits across the lowlands, bringing critical fire weather conditions into the early evening hours. The low will track across the area on Wednesday, bringing some showers to SW New Mexico and a boost in moisture across the wider area. Breezy to windy conditions will persist on Wednesday, and elevated fire weather conditions are expected in Far West Texas where humidity values will drop into the upper teens to lower 20s. This will fall short of critical thresholds. The focus then shifts to Thursday when stronger winds and drier conditions are expected in the area, though additional moisture will work into southwestern New Mexico.
