NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
158 PM MST THU MAR 4 2021
DISCUSSION
WINDS WILL BE SLOWLY DECREASING THIS EVENING AS A WEAK COLD FRONT
MOVES IN FROM THE NORTH. ON FRIDAY, THE WINDS WILL BE TURNING
MORE EAST TO NORTHEAST AT 15 TO 25 MPH. THIS WILL CREATE SOME
AREAS OF NEAR CRITICAL CONDITIONS, BUT RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL BE
GENERALLY IN THE 15 TO 20 PERCENT RANGE, 20S IN THE SACS. MUCH
LIGHTER WINDS ARE EXPECTED GOING INTO THE WEEKEND WITH
TEMPERATURES NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL. EARLY NEXT WEEK, WINDS
WILL BE ON THE INCREASE AS A BROAD TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE WEST
AND WINDY CONDITIONS DEVELOP STARTING TUESDAY WHICH COULD CREATE
SOME NEAR CRITICAL CONDITIONS AGAIN.
