Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas

.DISCUSSION...
Minimal fire concerns continue thanks to a monsoonal pattern. Good
to very good overnight recoveries anticipated again tonight, but
slightly drier air will arrive by tomorrow afternoon, lowering min
RH values into the low to mid 20s. This drier air will limit
thunderstorm coverage as well with mountains favored for rain
chances. Winds, a part from thunderstorm outflows, will remain on
the light side topping out around 10 MPH. Good to very good vent
rates are expected.
&&
...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.
