CONDITIONS. MIN RH VALUES OF THE MID TO UPPER TEENS WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE
WITH MARGINALLY CRITICAL THRESHOLDS WITH LIGHT WINDS, WHILE MIN RH VALUES EAST
OF THE RIO GRANDE WILL BE IN THE UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S. A DRYING TREND WILL
ALLOW MIN RH VALUES TO DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS AND PERSIST THROUGH THE MIDDLE

TO NEAR-CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE BORDERLAND AT LEAST THROUGH
LATTER PART OF NEXT WEEK.
