..CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST
GREAT
BASIN...CENTRAL ROCKIES...
..SYNOPSIS
A PERSISTENT LONGWAVE TROUGH IS IN PLACE OVER THE NORTHWESTERN CONUS
WITH PERTURBATIONS MOVING THROUGH A BELT OF STRONG FLOW THROUGH THE
DAY ON MONDAY. THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN
BREEZY CONDITIONS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST, GREAT BASIN AND
CENTRAL ROCKIES. A DRY AIR MASS AND DRY FUELS ARE IN PLACE, LEADING
TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER RISK IN THESE AREAS
..SOUTHWEST, GREAT BASIN, AND THE CENTRAL ROCKIES
STRONG VERTICAL MIXING ALONG WITH A STRENGTHENING PRESSURE GRADIENT
WILL RESULT IN STRONG WINDS TO 20-30 MPH AND RH NEAR 5-15% IN THE
AFTERNOON. FUELS IN THE AREA HAVE BEEN PERSISTENTLY DRY GENERALLY
WITH POOR OVERNIGHT RH RECOVERY EXACERBATING THE DRY FUELS.
THEREFORE, A CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER RISK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED HERE.
..NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO
STRONG DIURNAL HEATING ALONG WITH A COMPACT JET MAX ALOFT
OVERLAPPING A PLUME OF MID-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LIKELY RESULT IN
ISOLATED STORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO
DURING THE AFTERNOON. A VERY DRY BOUNDARY LAYER AND FAST STORM
MOTIONS SUGGEST THAT THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE MAINLY DRY. DUE TO THE
PRESENCE OF DRY FUELS, HAVE MAINTAINED AN ISOLATED DRY THUNDER AREA
HERE.
