DISCUSSION
VERY LOW CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER RISK THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH HIGHER
PRECIPITATION CHANCES, ANTECEDENT WET CONDITIONS, AND LIGHT WINDS.
CHANCES FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS INCREASE MONDAY AND INTO
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS DRY SOUTHWEST WINDS INCREASE OVER THE

MUCH OF THE AREA, WITH THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FOR CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS BEING IN SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO.
