...Synopsis...
Breezy, hot, and dry conditions are expected again Saturday across
portions of central, western, and southern NM, and a small area of
west TX ahead of an approaching cold front. The greatest wind speeds
(20-25 mph) will likely remain confined to the higher terrain of
west-southwestern NM Saturday afternoon (along and west of the Black
Range), where localized critical fire weather conditions appear
possible. Further east and south near the Sacramento and Guadalupe
Mountains, a shorter duration of critical wind speeds is
anticipated. Relative humidity across this entire region will also
drop into the low teens to single digits by late Saturday afternoon,
while ERCs approach or exceed the 80-90th seasonal percentiles.
