...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO AND PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...

...Synopsis...
A belt of strong deep-layer southwesterly flow will overspread the
southern Rockies and adjacent High Plains through the period, while
weak lee troughing persists over the central High Plains.

...Southern New Mexico and parts of the Southern High Plains...
Diurnally driven boundary-layer heating/mixing beneath a stream of
mid/high-level clouds will contribute to 15-20 percent RH during the
afternoon. While the pressure gradient will be modest, downward
momentum transfer within the well-mixed boundary layer will support
around 20 mph sustained west-southwesterly surface winds (with
higher gusts). As a result, critical conditions are expected across
southern NM into parts of the southern High Plains.
