...Synopsis...

Fire-weather concerns will become far more localized on D2/Wed

compared to D1/Tuesday across the southern High Plains.  A small

area of breezy and dry conditions will develop immediately ahead of

a frontal zone (with very cold air to its east) across eastern New

Mexico.  The position of this frontal zone will ultimately determine

the eastward extent of fire-weather throughout the forecast period.



...New Mexico and a small part of west Texas...

Localized areas of 15-20 mph surface winds will develop along an

axis from the Guadalupe Mountains northward to roughly Guadalupe

County, New Mexico near Las Vegas.  These winds will occur within a

dry low-level airmass just west of the front characterized by 10-17%

minimum RH values.  Dry fuels are also in place - in part due to a

lack of recent rainfall and relatively dry antecedent conditions. 

An elevated delineation is in place to address this scenario.
