223 AM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026
.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns remain low. Recent rains have allowed ERCs
to remain near/below the 50th percentile for most of the area.
MinRHs stay above 15% for most locations this afternoon (with the
exception of SE NM and Culberson County). Winds generally remain
light where driest conditions are expected. Good to excellent
overnight recoveries and more rain chances are ahead through this
weekend, with rain chances increasing early next week. Though
lightning starts and gusty winds are possible with storms, fire
weather concerns remain low overall.
