Fire weather zones across southern NM will continue to see ERC values increase over the next several days as hot, dry, and somewhat breezy conditions resume.

As mentioned above, elevated fire weather conditions will resume...mainly due to sub-critical RH values.

Breezy winds return as SW flow aloft resumes on Thursday and Friday, but look to remain sub-critical thresholds. Smoke ventilation rates will be good, becoming excellent by the end of the work week.
