VALID 131200Z - 141200Z
MODEST WEST/NORTHWEST FLOW CORRESPONDING TO A MID/UPPER RIDGE WILL
CONTINUE OVER THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN ROCKIES THROUGH THURSDAY. WEAK
LEE SURFACE TROUGHING ALONG THE HIGH PLAINS IN ADDITION TO THE
WEST/NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT SHOULD ENHANCE DOWNSLOPE DRYING, BUT
ENHANCED WINDS SHOULD BE LOCALIZED WITHIN FAVORED TERRAIN GAPS AND
ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS EAST OF THE DIVIDE, REDUCING LARGER SCALE FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS.
..SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO/FAR WEST TEXAS
MORE FAVORABLE METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR WILDFIRE SPREAD WILL BE
PRESENT ON THE LEEWARD SLOPES AND ADJACENT PLAINS OF SOUTHEASTERN NM

RELATIVE HUMIDITY BELOW 15 PERCENT AT TIMES WILL ALIGN ALONG A
CORRIDOR OF INCREASINGLY DRY FUELS (ERC VALUES NEARING THE 80TH
PERCENTILE), WARRANTING INTRODUCTION OF ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS.
