Strong southwest winds along with low relative humidity and above average temperatures will result in critical fire weather conditions Sunday afternoon west of the dryline.
Afternoon highs in the mid-to-upper 90s are expected for most Saturday through Monday. Some spots in the Trans Pecos, southeast New Mexico, and along the Rio Grande may see highs in the triple digits (between 105 and 110 degrees in low-lying areas of the Big Bend). A cold front brings cooler temperatures to the area by the middle of next week.
With the summer-like heat expected the next several days, here are ways you can protect yourself and loved ones. If you are on a job site outside, stay hydrated and take breaks in shade as often as possible. If you are wanting to go outdoors, limit strenuous activity, fine shade, and stay hydrated. Be sure to never leave kids or pets unattended in vehicles, look before you lock! Since the elderly and sick are individuals most vulnerable to the heat, be sure to checked up on them as often as possible.
