Breezy to windy conditions will persist on Wednesday, and elevated fire weather conditions are expected in Far West Texas where humidity values will drop into the upper teens to lower 20s. This will fall short of critical thresholds. The focus then shifts to Thursday when stronger winds and drier conditions are expected in the area, though additional moisture will work into southwestern New Mexico. ...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING DUE TO DRY FUELS, LOW HUMIDITY, AND STRONG WINDS FOR THE LOWLANDS OF SOUTH-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO... * AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zone 112 South Central Lowlands and Southern Rio Grande Valley/BLM/GLZ. * TIMING...Red Flag Warning through 8 PM tonight.
