NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0114 AM CST TUE FEB 11 2025
VALID 121200Z - 131200Z
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE TEXAS
TRANS-PECOS...
..SYNOPSIS
AN AMPLIFIED MIDLEVEL TROUGH ACCOMPANIED BY STRONG WESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT WILL OVERSPREAD THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES/PLAINS. AT THE SAME TIME,
A RELATED SURFACE LOW WILL LINGER OVER THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
..TX TRANS-PECOS
A MODEST PRESSURE GRADIENT PERIPHERAL TO THE SURFACE LOW, COUPLED
WITH BOUNDARY-LAYER MIXING INTO THE STRONG FLOW ALOFT, WILL FAVOR
20-30 MPH SUSTAINED WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS (WITH HIGHER GUSTS)
ACROSS SOUTHERN NM INTO WEST TX. OVER THE TX TRANS-PECOS, THESE
WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH 15 PERCENT AFTERNOON RH, AND GIVEN AT LEAST
MODESTLY RECEPTIVE FUELS, CRITICAL FIRE-WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED. DRY/BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL EXTEND FARTHER EAST INTO
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL TX, THOUGH PRECEDING RAINFALL ATOP ALREADY
MARGINAL FUELS SHOULD LIMIT FIRE-WEATHER CONCERNS HERE.
