...RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON TO 9 PM MDT SATURDAY FOR STRONG WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 055, 056, AND 112...

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ON SATURDAY...

.West flow increasing again on Saturday as an upper level low
pressure system crosses the Southern Rockies. Winds speeds
increasing during much of the daytime hours, with gusts over 45
mph across much of southern New Mexico and far west Texas.
Conditions remain dry during the day with relative humidity
dropping to 10 to 15% mid-afternoon. Fuel conditions are dry due
to lack of rainfall in the past month as well as the precedent
drought status. The combination of weather factors and dry
grassland, brush, and timber will lead to critical fire danger and
risk of new fire starts and rapid spread.

* WIND...West at 20 to 35 mph with gusts to 45 mph.

* HUMIDITY...10 to 15 percent.

* EXPERIMENTAL RFTI...5 to 6 Critical in South-Central New
Mexico and Far West Texas desert lowlands.

* IMPACTS...any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly.
Outdoor burning is not recommended.

Information: 
A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can
contribute to extreme fire behavior.
