.DISCUSSION...
Wind and dewpoints are acting as forecasted today, with critical
fire weather issues across much of the region. Going into tonight,
wind will begin to die down after dark, however east-facing
slopes will remain gusty through the overnight hours. RH recovers
overnight range from 90% (western areas) to 50% (eastern areas).
Tomorrow, we are going to remain breezy to windy, esp west of the
RGR at 15-25 mph, as we remain under the influence of a broad
upper trough. RH will be in the teens in the lowlands. SPC is
highlighting eastern Otero and eastern Hudspeth County for
elevated fire weather conditions. There is another storm system
expected on Sunday bringing critical fire weather conditions once
again. Ventilation rates will be very good to excellent today and
through the weekend, then deteriorate a bit early next week.
