Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico

248 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Min RH above critical 15%, good to excellent overnight recovery,
light 20-ft winds below 20 miles per hour, seasonable
temperatures, and ERCs below 75th percentile with a chance of
wetting rains over drier fuels will all result in low fire weather
conditions into next week. Fire starts are still possible from
lightning and gusty, erratic winds in any storms, but greenery and
moisture of fuels is expected to limit any fire spread.
