| Brief Description | Red Flag Warning | |
| Detailed Description | CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS. .Strong southwest flow aloft crossing the Southern Rockies will induce low surface pressure over the southern High Plains Saturday and Sunday. Subsequent tightening of the surface pressure gradient will increase winds area wide from the west-southwest beginning on Saturday. Strongest winds are forecast to occur Sunday and Monday afternoons. Very dry air remains in place while winds increase, creating critical fire danger for much of southern New Mexico and far west Texas. Fuel dryness is near normal for mid-May, but weather conditions will be favorable for rapid drying of fine fuels and increasing ERCs back above seasonal normals through the weekend. The National Weather Service in El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa has issued a Red Flag Warning for south-central New Mexico, which is in effect from 1 PM to 7 PM MDT Saturday. * AFFECTED AREA. Fire Weather Zone 112 South Central Lowlands and Southern Rio Grande Valley/BLM/GLZ and Fire Weather Zone 113 Capitan and Sacramento Mountains/Lincoln NF/LNZ. * WINDS. For Saturday, southwest 20 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. For Sunday, southwest 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY. As low as 5 percent. * EXPERIMENTAL RFTI. For Saturday, 4 to 6 or Near Critical to Critical. For Sunday, 5 to 8 or Critical to Extreme. * IMPACTS. Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended. |
