...Synopsis...

Zonal, mid-level flow is forecast to continue across the central and

western US today and tonight. Embedded within the westerly flow,

several weak perturbations will cross the Rockies enhancing a lee

trough over the High Plains. 



...Southwest and Southern High Plains...

Dry and breezy conditions are again expected across parts of eastern

AZ and NM today as strong westerly flow continues over the Rockies.

Several embedded mid-level perturbations will help strengthen lee

troughing, and the resulting west/southwesterly surface winds to

15-25 mph. The strong downslope winds, along with warm temperatures

and days of low humidity will support afternoon RH values of 10-15%.

 Given the favorable overlap of strong winds, low humidity and

ongoing drought, widespread elevated fire-weather conditions are

likely. A few hours of locally critical fire-weather conditions also

appear possible within areas of stronger terrain-enhanced wind

gusts. However, confidence in widespread critical conditions is

relatively low.
