811 FNUS54 KEPZ 161110 FWFEPZ Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM 510 AM MDT Sun May 16 2021 .DISCUSSION... Dry southwesterly flow will persist across the Borderland to start the week. Southwest/westerly winds will increase each afternoon through Tuesday resulting in elevated fire weather conditions. Speeds look to stay just below critical thresholds in most areas as of now. There could be isolated Red Flag conditions in portions of the area each afternoon, but it doesn't seem to be widespread enough to warrant a Warning. The best chance for those isolated critical conditions today will be in the NM Bootheel where southwesterly winds will be slightly stronger. Min RHs will drop into the single digits today and Monday, then increase slightly to 12-15 percent in the lowlands and 18-25 percent in the mountains Tuesday as an upper level system passes through. A slight chance of mountain showers and storms can't be ruled out Monday, with the better chance on Tuesday. Vent rates wil be Very Good to Excellent. && ...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.
