435 FNUS54 KEPZ 221312 FWFEPZ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM 712 AM MDT Sat Jun 22 2019 ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 8 PM MDT THIS EVENING... .DISCUSSION... Today will continue our dry and breezy to windy weather pattern. An upper level storm system moving across Colorado will combine with a surface trough over northeast New Mexico to give us another breezy to windy afternoon. These winds combined with the very dry and warm conditions will lead to Red Flag conditions this afternoon in the lowlands and near Red Flag conditions in area mountains. We will see a similar weather pattern on Sunday with continued warm and very dry conditions, but the winds should back off a little. For Monday and Tuesday we will still be dry, but winds will be lighter. By Tuesday afternoon, some moisture from the east may work into the area and bring a slight chance for rain for locations east of the Rio Grande. By the end of the week, our rain chances will spread to the Continental Divide, but we will continue to see very warm conditions. && ...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.
