...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS RETURN TUESDAY... .A passing Pacific trough on Tuesday will bring a day of very strong winds, and dry conditions to Southern New Mexico and Far West Texas. Temperatures will be slightly warmer than average for the date, with afternoon instability increased. Relative humidity will drop into the high single digits and lower teens by late morning, and remain quite low well into the evening. West winds will increase through the mid morning hours and will peak during the mid and late-afternoon hours, even extending into the evening. Sustained winds at and above 35 mph with gusts exceeding 55 mph are expected. ERC values are well above average for mid March. Fire danger will be critical due to these weather conditions. Some uncertainty regarding fuels and min RH values remain for the Gila, so that zone was not upgraded to a red flag warning for this forecast cycle.
