TOMORROW WILL BRING ANOTHER DAY OF GUSTY WINDS, THOUGH GUSTS WILL BE
LESS EXTREME FOR MOST AREAS. DEWPOINTS WILL INCREASE FOR MOST AREAS,
THOUGH ACTUAL HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE AROUND THE SAME AS TODAY AS
TEMPERATURES ALSO LOOK TO INCREASE BY SEVERAL DEGREES. A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR, ALONG
WITH CROWLEY, OTERO, AND BENT, COUNTIES, WHERE SOUTHWEST WINDS
GUSTING TO 35 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE, ALONG WITH HUMIDITY VALUES IN
