The colder air mass near and east of the Rio Grande will begin to moderate on Friday, with high temperatures in Hudspeth County and the Otero Mesa climbing by 10 degrees over Thursday. Further west, expect little change in temperatures. Overall temps will be slightly above normal near the Arizona line, near normal for El Paso and Las Cruces, and still 5 to 8° below normal over far eastern areas. Weather will be benign -- with light and variable contributing to low fire weather risk.
