0136 AM CST THU JAN 01 2026
VALID 011200Z - 021200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..SYNOPSIS
A MID-LEVEL TROUGH WILL EJECT INTO THE ATLANTIC AS RELATIVELY ZONAL
UPPER FLOW (WITH SMALL EMBEDDED IMPULSES) BECOMES ESTABLISHED OVER
THE CENTRAL U.S., AND ANOTHER MID-LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHES THE WEST
COAST TODAY. A SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS,
ENCOURAGING MODEST DOWNSLOPE FLOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
HIGH PLAINS. DESPITE THE STRONGER (15-25 MPH) SUSTAINED WESTERLY
SURFACE WINDS EXPECTED ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO INTO WESTERN TEXAS,
HIGHER RH VALUES WILL MIX EASTWARD WITH THE STRONGER FLOW, DAMPENING
WILDFIRE-SPREAD CONCERNS TO SOME DEGREE. WHILE LOCALIZED
WILDFIRE-SPREAD POTENTIAL IS STILL POSSIBLE, THESE CONDITIONS APPEAR
TOO LIMITED FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS AT THIS
TIME.
