...Synopsis...

Fire weather concerns appear limited for Tuesday across the country.

The upper low currently over southern California is forecast to

gradually shift east across the southwest states over the next 48

hours. As this occurs, moderately strong mid-level winds will

overspread much of NM, which will support breezy winds around 15 mph

by late afternoon in the vicinity of a weak surface trough that is

forecast to reside across the central portion of the state. Dry

low-level air emanating out of northern Mexico combined with modest

wind speeds may allow some areas to reach elevated wind/RH

thresholds, but the coverage and duration of such conditions appears

limited compared to prior days. Additionally, the axis of the

strongest winds/lowest RH will become increasingly displaced from

the driest fuels located across AZ and far western NM. Across the

Plains, a strong surface pressure gradient will support another day

of 15-20 mph winds with afternoon RH values falling into the 20-35%

range. Localized elevated fire weather conditions are possible, but

confidence in widespread or persistent elevated conditions is too

limited for highlights at this time.
