...Synopsis...

Northwesterly flow is expected to strengthen across New Mexico on

Thursday, as a lee cyclone develops in the southern High Plains.

Sustained winds of 15 to 20 mph are expected with relative humidity

in the single digits. Deterministic guidance varies on how

widespread any critical wind speeds will be. This leads to low

confidence in including a Critical area with this outlook, but will

be monitored for future outlook updates. For now, Elevated to

locally Critical fire weather conditions are expected on Thursday.
