.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1130 AM MDT Sun Jun 7 2026

An UL ridge is building across NM this afternoon in between a
trough over the western quarter of the CONUS and a trough over the
Central Plains. This ridge will expand while drifting east into
the Southern Plains. Temperatures will climb as a result with most
lowland locations in the upper 90s and lower 100s.

The long wave trough to our west will nudge eastward, aligning
itself to our north by late Tuesday and early Wednesday. A weak
s/w trough will cut out ahead of it Tuesday afternoon, which will
be enough to bring low storm chances to the Sacramento Mountains.
By Wednesday, with the trough aligned to our north, breezes will
pick up for areas west of the Rio Grande. The deep westerly flow
will also push temperatures to the hottest point in the forecast
(for now). Heat Advisories are a good bet with highs pushing 105,
especially across the Texas Rio Grande Valley, including El Paso.

The subtropical ridge will re-build from the south to finish out
the period. Both the GFS and Euro agree fairly well with the
strength and placement of the high by next weekend, but differ in
how much moisture can slip in beneath the ridge. The amount of
moisture will have implications on whether our string of 100
degree days continue with further warming or if we will see some
modest relief i.e. mid to upper 90s along with a chance for
showers and thunderstorms. The NBM has spotty low POPs, and that
is what is in the forecast.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1130 AM MDT Sun Jun 7 2026

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1130 AM MDT Sun Jun 7 2026

Hot and dry conditions are expected through Thursday with min RH
values near 10% each afternoon while highs climb 5 to 10 degrees
above normal. Winds will top out around 10 MPH, nearing 15 MPH for
areas west of the Rio Grande on Wednesday. No precip is expected
except for Tuesday across the Sacramento Mountains when isolated
to scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible. Vent
categories will generally range very good to excellent daily.
