CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED THROUGH THIS
WEEKEND. ERCS STAY NEAR/BELOW THE 50TH PERCENTILE FOR MOST OF THE
AREA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS AND PORTIONS
OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL DROP TO
10-15% EACH AFTERNOON, BUT WILL NOT COINCIDE WITH THE STRONGEST
WINDS THAT ARE EXPECTED EACH EVENING. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES
WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND BEFORE TEMPERATURES FALL CLOSER
TO NORMAL EARLY NEXT WEEK. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS COULD
PRODUCE DRY LIGHTNING STARTS AND GUSTY/ERRATIC WINDS,PARTICULARLY
FOR AREAS WEST OF THE PECOS RIVER VALLEY. WETTING RAINS DURING THE
EARLY PART OF THE COMING WEEK WILL KEEP FUELS IN BETTER CONDITIONS
FOR AREAS SOUTH OF I-10.
