284 FNUS54 KEPZ 152052 FWFEPZ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM 152 PM MST Fri Feb 15 2019 .DISCUSSION... Breezy to windy conditions will be the norm just about every day into the middle of next week. The windiest day looks to be tomorrow with sustained winds of 20 to 35 mph and gusts to 45 mph. Relative humidities should remain above 15 percent, but some localized areas may see an hour or two of critical conditions in the late afternoon. After tomorrow, temperatures will see a significant drop into early next week with highs falling to 10 to 15 degrees below normal. Temperatures may rebound toward the middle or later part of the week, but still remain below normal. The cooler temperatures will help to keep relative humidities above 20 percent so even with the breezy conditions, critical conditions should not be met. Vent rates will generally remain good to excellent into next week with deep westerly flow continuing across the area. && ...Percentages shown in the sky/weather portion reflect sky cover amount... ...Mean elevations used to obtain mixing heights as follows: Zone 110 - Reserve (5900 ft) Zone 111 - Deming (4300 ft) Zone 112 - Las Cruces(3900 ft) Zone 113 - Ruidoso (6900 ft) Ventilation categories are determined by criteria established by the state of New Mexico.
