URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM
453 AM MDT Sun Mar 21 2021

...High Fire Danger Expected on Sunday and Monday...

.A Pacific storm system will slowly track towards southern New
Mexico Sunday afternoon. Out ahead of this system, expect gusty 
southwest winds on the order of 20 to 25 mph sustained with gusts 
35 to 40 mph. These winds combined with low relatively humidity in
the 8 to 14 percent range will foster high fire danger and red 
flag conditions, mainly for NMZ111 and western/northern portions
of NMZ112. Relative humidity will remain critical across most of 
the region outside of area mountains, but the strongest winds will
remain across NMZ111 and portions of NMZ112. Wind values will 
diminish shortly after sunset Sunday evening. This system will 
pass through the region Monday and bring widespread strong winds 
for Monday and Red Flag conditions area wide, excluding area
mountains.
