...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH WEDNESDAY... A persistent trough over the Northern Rockies will maintain dry west flow across the U.S. Southwest over the next couple days. Disturbances within this prevailing flow will allow winds to increase area-wide into the middle of the week. Gusty winds will develop each afternoon combining with very low relative humidity to create critical to extreme fire danger. Recent lack of precipitation has progressed fuel dryness to a point where wildfire starts will be possible and spread aided by weather conditions. * AFFECTED AREA...Texas Fire Weather Zone 055 El Paso County, Texas Fire Weather Zone 056 Hudspeth County, Fire Weather Zone 110 Southwest Mountains/Gila NF/Apache NF/GLZ, Fire Weather Zone 111 Southwest Deserts and Lowlands/Las Cruces BLM/GLZ, 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. * TIMING...From Noon to 9PM Tuesday and from Noon to 9 PM Wednesday. * WINDS...West 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 5 percent. * TEMPERATURES...In the 80s to near 90 for the lowlands. 60s and 70s in the mountains. * EXPERIMENTAL RFTI...For Tuesday, 5 to 8 Critical to Extreme.
