Winds will increase throughout the day today as an upper level trough approaches the area. The strongest winds are expected west of the Rio Grande this afternoon. This combined with humidities in the single digits to low teens has warranted a Reg Flag Warning for this afternoon. Elevated fire conditions will occur elsewhere with breezy winds and slightly higher humidities. An increase in moisture to our north will also allow for a slight chance of mountain rain showers and thunderstorms this evening and into the overnight. Temperatures will drop 5-10 degrees for Tuesday and winds will return to normal afternoon breeziness for this time of year. High temperatures will gradually warm throughout the remainder of the week until our next weather system pushes in Thursday evening into Friday. Vent rates will be very good to excellent for the next several days. && ...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.
