..CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR NORTHEAST ARIZONA
SOUTHEAST
UTAH...WESTERN COLORADO...AND NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO...
..SYNOPSIS
BROAD UPPER-LEVEL TROUGHING WILL CONTINUE OVER THE WEST WITH
MULTIPLE SHORTWAVE TROUGHS ROTATING THROUGH THE FLOW. WHILE FLOW
WEAKENS ALOFT, DEEP WELL-MIXED BOUNDARY LAYERS WILL DEVELOP AS
STRONGER WINDS ALOFT WILL MIX TO THE SURFACE AGAIN BRINGING ANOTHER

..GREATER FOUR CORNERS REGION
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN ACROSS NORTHEAST
ARIZONA, SOUTHEAST UTAH, WESTERN COLORADO, AND NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO.
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15-20 MPH AMID MINIMUM RH OF
3-10% WILL DEVELOP BY THE AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING.
SOME FORECAST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE CRITICAL AREA MAY HAVE MORE
LOCALLY CRITICAL CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, SWATHS OF HREF 50%+
PROBABILITIES OF CRITICAL WINDS/RH ALONG WITH NEARLY A WEEK OF
DRY/WINDY CONDITIONS FOR THIS REGION, AND THE ACTIVE LARGE WILDFIRES
ACROSS THE REGION JUSTIFY A CRITICAL AREA. ADDITIONALLY, THE DRIER
AND WINDIER FORECAST GUIDANCE HAS BEEN MORE ACCURATE AND RELIABLE
FOR THIS REGION RECENTLY. LOCALLY ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED FROM THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN SIERRA ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN. SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 10-20 MPH AMID
MINIMUM RH OF 8-20% ARE LIKELY ACROSS THIS AREA.
