.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns remain low into next week. While minimum
relative humidity falls to between 10-25% west of the Pecos each
afternoon, 20 ft winds remain mostly light, limiting concerns.
Recent rainfall and fair to good overnight recovery further limits
fire potential. Temperatures will remain largely above normal.
