NO CHANGES TO THE DAY 1 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK WERE NEEDED.
ACCELERATING NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION ALONG
WITH A DEEPENING LEE TROUGH ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH
PLAINS WILL SUPPORT INCREASED WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE WINDS AND DRYING
ACROSS EAST-CENTRAL NM AND TX PERMIAN BASIN THROUGH TODAY. GREATEST
RH REDUCTIONS TO AROUND 15 PERCENT ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE PERMIAN
BASIN VICINITY BY THE AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH DRY CONDITIONS WILL BE
COUPLED WITH SUSTAINED WESTERLY WINDS OF 10-15 MPH (LOCALLY 20 MPH
WITH HIGHER GUSTS), FUELS REMAIN LARGELY UNRECEPTIVE TO SIGNIFICANT
WILDFIRE SPREAD, MITIGATING THE OVERALL FIRE WEATHER THREAT.

..SYNOPSIS
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LOW TODAY ACROSS THE
CONUS. WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL OVERSPREAD THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL
ROCKIES, WITH A LEE CYCLONE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
THE RESULTING INCREASE IN SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL SUPPORT
ENHANCEMENT OF WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE FLOW ACROSS PORTIONS OF EAST
CENTRAL NEW MEXICO INTO THE TEXAS PERMIAN BASIN. WHILE SOME OVERLAP
OF DRY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS IS LIKELY, FUELS IN THIS REGION ARE NOT
RECEPTIVE TO SPREAD AFTER RECENT COOL AND WET CONDITIONS.
