NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
510 AM MST TUE NOV 25 2025
DISCUSSION
TYPICAL DRY FALL WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY, AND THROUGH
THE ENTIRE WEEK, ACROSS ALL FIRE ZONES. A DRY NW AND W FLOW PATTERN
WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION, WITH BROAD HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY FORMING
ACROSS THE SW U.S. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES, AND NEAR
SEASONAL TEMPERATURES, SLOWLY WARMING THROUGH THE WEEK. DAILY HIGHS
WILL BE 3-7 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. DESPITE THE DRY CONDITIONS, MAX RH
WILL BE GOOD EACH MORNING, WITH AFTERNOON MIN RH STAYING ABOVE 20
PERCENT. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE, FAVORING NW THROUGH NE,
WITH TERRAIN INFLUENCES DOMINATING. VENTILATION WILL STRUGGLE TO GET
ANY BETTER THAN FAIR, DUE TO THE LIMITED MIXING DEPTH, AND LIGHT
TRANSPORT WINDS. WEATHER CONDITIONS BEYOND SATURDAY ARE UNCERTAIN AS
MODEL FLIP-FLOP GIVES NO CONFIDENCE, BUT IT DOES APPEAR WE WILL SEE
INCREASED WINDS AND GUSTS SUNDAY, INTO NEXT WEEK.
