.DISCUSSION...
DRY AND VERY WARM TODAY AND FRIDAY WITH AFTERNOON HUMIDITY IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS TO LOW TEENS AND POOR RECOVERY TONIGHT. SUFFICIENT
MOISTURE FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN EAST
AND SOUTH OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THERE IS THE
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHERN AND EASTERN HUDSPETH COUNTY
AND OVER THE EASTERN FLANKS OF THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS...BUT ANY
OUTFLOWS FROM THE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE WEAKER AND WILL PROBABLY
NOT REACH THE FIRE SITE TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP CLOSER
TO THE FIRE SITE FRIDAY...PERHAPS AS FAR WEST AS EL PASO COUNTY
AND SOUTHWESTERN OTERO COUNTY. THIS WOULD BRING IN FAIRLY STRONG
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG WITH
INCREASING HUMIDITY.
