NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1229 AM CDT THU MAY 22 2025
VALID 231200Z - 241200Z
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF EAST-CENTRAL ARIZONA INTO
WEST-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO...
..SYNOPSIS
PRECEDING A MIDLEVEL TROUGH MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTHERN
CA, MIDLEVEL SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST.
THIS WILL PROMOTE GRADUAL DEEPENING OF A BROAD SURFACE LOW OVER THE
SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN.
..EAST-CENTRAL ARIZONA INTO WEST-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO
DIURNAL HEATING OF A DRY ANTECEDENT AIR MASS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
WILL FAVOR A DEEP/DRY BOUNDARY LAYER -- CHARACTERIZED BY
SINGLE-DIGIT AFTERNOON RH. THE DEEP BOUNDARY-LAYER MIXING INTO THE
INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT, COUPLED WITH AN ENHANCED
PRESSURE GRADIENT SOUTH OF THE DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW, WILL YIELD 20
MPH SUSTAINED SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS ALONG THE MOGOLLON RIM
INTO WEST-CENTRAL NM. THE COMBINATION OF BREEZY/GUSTY SURFACE WINDS
ATOP INCREASINGLY DRY FUELS WILL SUPPORT CRITICAL FIRE-WEATHER
CONDITIONS.
