...Synopsis...

Dry and breezy conditions are expected across the southern High

Plains on Wednesday in response to a development of a lee cyclone,

as increasing mid-level flow overspreads the Rockies. Deeply mixed

profiles by the afternoon will yield single-digit relative humidity

amid sustained winds 20 to 25 mph across portions of eastern New

Mexico into the northern Texas Panhandle. Little recent rainfall

across this area has sufficiently dried fuels, with ERCs forecast to

be in the 75th percentile. This will support Critical fire weather

concerns, with broader Elevated fire weather concerns extending into

southeastern Colorado and the western Oklahoma Panhandle.
