744 FNUS54 KEPZ 071402 FWFEPZ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM 702 AM MST Thu Nov 7 2019 .DISCUSSION... A backdoor cold front will push into the area this morning, bringing clouds and fog to the Sacramento Mountains through the day and tonight. A few spotty showers or thunderstorms will remain a risk today, mainly east of the Rio Grande, as the front interacts with a departing upper level disturbance. Cooler temperatures will slowly warm up to near normal this weekend, but another, stronger backdoor cold front will push temperatures below normal again early next week. Some moisture may try to work into the area from the south as the front approaches, but the best chances for precipitation look to remain focused south and east of the area. Poor to fair vent rates are expected for the next couple of days due to low mixing heights. && ...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.
