CRITICAL TO EXTREME FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS RETURN TUESDAY... .A passing weather system on Tuesday will bring very strong winds and dry conditions to Southern New Mexico and Far West Texas. Relative humidity will drop into the teens and lower double digits--with single digits favored out east--by late morning, and remain quite low well into the evening. Southwest to west winds will increase through the mid morning hours and will peak during the mid and late-afternoon hours, even extending into the evening. Sustained winds at and above 35 mph, with gusts exceeding 55 mph are expected. ERC values are well above average for mid March. Fire danger will be critical due to these weather conditions.
...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS CANCELLED FOR THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS,
GILA AND APACHE NATIONAL FORESTS...
The National Weather Service in El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa has
cancelled the Fire Weather Watch.
Due to non-critical humidity and low ERCs due to recent snowfall,
critical fire weather conditions will not be present in the
southwest mountains (Zone 110). Elevated to near-critical
conditions will still exist due to strong winds.
