Fire Weather Planning Forecast for New Mexico and Far West Texas
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
323 PM MDT Sun Sep 29 2024

.DISCUSSION...
No significant concerns for fire weather as dry and warm weather
continues. Temperatures will lower through the week but remain
above normal. Low min RHs will persist so fuels will continue
their Autumn drying. Fire conditions should not exceed elevated
as no significant winds 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.
