711 AM MST WED NOV 26 2025
DISCUSSION
QUIET CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. MAIN
FIRE WEATHER CONCERN WILL BE LIMITED MIXING HEIGHTS AND LIGHT
WINDS, WHICH WILL YIELD POOR VENT RATES FOR MUCH OF THE AREA TODAY
AND THURSDAY. EXPECT SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT ON FRIDAY OUTSIDE THE
TULAROSA BASIN AS ZONAL FLOW ALOFT TAKES OVER. WEEKEND PRECIP
CHANCES HAVE DISSIPATED. A FAST MOVING TROUGH WILL BRING A SLIGHT
UPTICK IN NORTHWEST WINDS ON MONDAY, AND WE'RE HANGING ONTO A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR PRECIP AS IT PASSES THROUGH.
...PERCENTAGES SHOWN IN THE SKY/WEATHER PORTION REFLECT
