FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
147 PM MST WED DEC 10 2025
DISCUSSION
OUR PERSISTENT WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES, WITH FAIR, DRY, AND MILD
CONDITIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN U.S.
WILL KEEP A DRY WESTERLY FLOW OVER OUR REGION, WITH STORMS PASSING
WELL TO THE NORTH. THIS WILL MEAN ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES, LOW
DAYTIME RH, AND GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS TO KEEP FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS
LOW. NIGHTTIMES WILL BE COOL, BUT MILD COMPARED TO SEASONAL AVERAGES,
WITH LIGHT WINDS, AND GOOD RH RECOVERIES. WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE REGION, MIXING HEIGHTS WILL BE FAIRLY LOW, AND TRANSPORT
WINDS RELATIVELY LIGHT, KEEPING VENTILATION POOR TO FAIR MOST DAYS.
...PERCENTAGES SHOWN IN THE SKY/WEATHER PORTION REFLECT
SKY COVER AMOUNT...
