..NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO
DOWNSLOPE ENHANCEMENT AND DRYING OFF THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS
SHOULD SUPPORT A FEW HOURS OF ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON. ELEVATED
HIGHLIGHTS WERE ADDED TO REFLECT EXPECTED BREEZY SOUTHWEST WINDS
COUPLED WITH A VERY DRY, WELL-MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER SUPPORTING
AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY AS LOW AS 10 PERCENT.
..FLORIDA
A STEADY EAST-SOUTHEAST WIND, RELATIVE HUMIDITY IN THE 30-40 PERCENT

..SYNOPSIS
A LOW-AMPLITUDE MID-LEVEL TROUGH WILL TRAVERSE NEW ENGLAND AND EJECT
INTO THE ATLANTIC AS ANOTHER MID-LEVEL TROUGH AMPLIFIES ALONG THE
WEST COAST TODAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND OVERALL COOLER
TEMPERATURES WILL OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE NORTHERN U.S. WHILE BROAD
SURFACE TROUGHING AND ASSOCIATED LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN BECOMES
ESTABLISHED FROM THE GREAT PLAINS TO THE EAST COAST. AS SUCH,
RELATIVELY QUIESCENT FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER MUCH
OF THE U.S. TODAY. DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST, BUT SURFACE WIND FIELDS SHOULD BE TOO WEAK TO NECESSITATE
ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS. SOME DRY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE WESTERN FLORIDA PENINSULA, WHERE 30-40 PERCENT RH WILL
OVERLAP WITH 10-15 MPH SUSTAINED SOUTHEASTERLY SURFACE WINDS BY
AFTERNOON PEAK HEATING. ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED IN
THIS AREA GIVEN DRY FUELS.
