NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
634 AM MST THU FEB 5 2026
DISCUSSION
BREEZY CONDITIONS IN SW NEW MEXICO TODAY, BUT MIN RH VALUES WILL
REMAIN AROUND 20 PERCENT OR HIGHER. LOWER RH EXPECTED IN THE GILA,
BUT WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER THERE. VENT RATES WILL BE FAVORABLE
IN SW NEW MEXICO, BUT GENERALLY POOR IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
TEMPERATURES WILL RISE TO ABOUT 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FROM
FRIDAY, AND THERE'S STILL SOME LINGERING PRECIP CHANCES SUNDAY AND
MONDAY, THOUGH SNOW LEVELS WILL BE QUITE HIGH.
THE SLOW-MOVING SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RAIN CHANCES WILL CLEAR
EAST OF THE AREA TUESDAY, WITH SOME WESTERLY BREEZINESS IN ITS
WAKE. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED, BUT VENT
RATES WILL BE MUCH IMPROVED AREA-WIDE SHOULD THIS COME TO PASS.
