MOISTURE PLUME REMAINS OVER WESTERN NEW MEXICO THIS MORNING WHICH
WILL AGAIN LEAD TO A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON. IF A THUNDERSTORM MOVES DIRECTLY OVERHEAD OF THE BURN
AREA...THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF DECENT WETTING RAINS.
OTHERWISE...STORMS WILL BE IN THE VICINITY WHICH WILL LEAD TO
GUSTY AND ERRATIC THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOWS. ASIDE FROM THE STORM
CHANCES...THE HEAT WILL BE THE MAIN STORY FOR TODAY WITH
TEMPERATURES 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL...LEADING TO DAYTIME
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES BELOW 20 PERCENT. FAIR RECOVERIES ARE EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT. DRIER AIR WILL FILTER IN FROM THE NORTHWEST ON
