DISCUSSION...ANOTHER HOT AND MOSTLY DRY DAY WILL BE OBSERVED OVER
NORTHERN NEW MEXICO AND THE JEMEZ MOUNTAINS. MEAGER MOISTURE COULD
SPARK A STRAY THUNDERSTORM IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...
BUT THIS ACTIVITY WILL PRODUCE LITTLE RAINFALL AND THE THREAT OF DRY
LIGHTNING. MORE STORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP FARTHER WEST. WINDS WILL
TURN MORE SOUTH SOUTHWEST BY AFTERNOON...WITH SOME OCCASIONAL WEST
UPSLOPE BREEZES THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. AS
TEMPERATURES CLIMB TOWARD 80 DEGREES THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL FALL
TO LESS THAN 20 PERCENT. ONLY FAIR RH RECOVERY IS EXPECTED TONIGHT
AND INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY...AND A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR MORE DRY STORMS
WILL CONTINUE.
