...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.
