Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
134 PM MDT Sat Jul 6 2024

...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM NOON SUNDAY TO 6 AM MDT MONDAY...

.DISCUSSION...

For the rest of this afternoon, there will be a chance for showers
and thunderstorms across the much of the zones. The main concerns
with these storms are gusty winds, hail and isolated flash
flooding. Any storms that linger this evening should diminish by
around 9 pm. Tonight recovery will be fair to good. For Sunday,
dry air will move in, which will limit our precipitation chances.
The 20ft winds will be light to low end breezy and temperatures
above the normal. For the rest of the period, there will be daily
chances for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. The
winds will be light to windy and the temperatures below the normal
east of the Divide. With that said, there will be no fire
concerns for most of the period except on Monday.
