Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0146 AM CDT Sun Apr 28 2024



Valid 281200Z - 291200Z



...Synopsis...

Elevated fire weather conditions will be possible this afternoon

across eastern New Mexico and far western Texas, where a belt of

increased mid-level flow will be in place with weak surface

troughing. This will allow for relative humidity reductions to

around 10-20 percent amid surface winds 10-15 mph (locally as high

as 20 mph). Ensemble guidance suggests there could be some portion

of east-central New Mexico where coverage of may be limited, but

given forecast afternoon relative humidity, opted to keep the entire

area in as deterministic guidance still show signal for Elevated

winds across the area. Fuels in this region will likely see drying

on D1 Saturday, but overall coverage of any Critical winds should

remain low enough to preclude the need for a Critical delineation at

this time.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0147 AM CDT Sun Apr 28 2024



Valid 291200Z - 301200Z



...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



...Synopsis...

Fire weather concerns will be low on Monday. Weak lee surface

troughing will continue to bring localized breezes across portions

of the southern High Plains. Height rises and weakening flow aloft

should keep coverage of this threat limited, precluding the need to

include any areas at this time. Afternoon relative humidity will

still drop as low as 15 percent with localized periods of Elevated

fire weather, main across eastern New Mexico.
