VALID 291200Z - 301200Z
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO
AND FAR WEST TEXAS...
..SYNOPSIS
WITHIN THE BASE OF A BROAD LARGE-SCALE TROUGH OVER THE WEST, A
WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY MIDLEVEL JET STREAK WILL OVERSPREAD THE SOUTHERN
ROCKIES AND ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON. IN THE
LOW-LEVELS, A LEE CYCLONE WILL DEEPEN OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS, WHILE
A SOUTHWARD-EXTENDING DRYLINE SHARPENS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
..SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO INTO WEST TEXAS
DESPITE INCREASING MID/HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS ACCOMPANYING THE MIDLEVEL
JET STREAK, THE STRONG DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL FAVOR DEEP BOUNDARY-LAYER
MIXING INTO THE STRONG FLOW ALOFT WEST OF THE DRYLINE. HERE, 10-15
PERCENT RH AND AROUND 20 MPH SUSTAINED WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE
WINDS (WITH HIGHER GUSTS) WILL YIELD CRITICAL FIRE-WEATHER
CONDITIONS DURING THE AFTERNOON, GIVEN ANTECEDENT DRYING OF FINE
FUELS.
