Red Flag Warning for Borderland, Texas
URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM
1220 PM MDT Tue May 7 2024
...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.
