..SYNOPSIS
MID-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL INCREASE FROM THE EAST ACROSS PORTIONS OF
WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO ON WEDNESDAY AS A RESULT OF HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS. THUNDERSTORM
COVERAGE WILL BE BEST ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO, BUT A FEW ISOLATED
HIGH-BASED STORMS INITIATED ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN WILL BE
POSSIBLE ON THE EDGE OF THE BETTER MOISTURE IN WESTERN/CENTRAL NEW
MEXICO. IN THIS REGION, PW VALUES WILL BE < 0.50". AN AREA OF
ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WAS MAINTAINED NEAR THE SANDIA
MANZANO MOUNTAINS WEST TO THE SAN MATEO MOUNTAINS IN NEW MEXICO WITH
THIS OUTLOOK, AS FUELS IN THESE REGION ARE NEAR THE 80TH-90TH
PERCENTILE FOR DRYNESS.
