...Synopsis...

Up to 50 kt 500 mb flow will develop across the central/southern U.S

as a mid-level trough begins to develop across the Inter-mountain

West. With a dry boundary layer in place across the southern High

Plains, diurnal heating will encourage downslope flow along the

higher terrain to the lee of the Rockies, promoting very breezy/dry

conditions. Latest guidance consensus depicts eastern New Mexico

into the Texas Panhandle as the most likely area to see 15-20% RH

coinciding with 20+ mph sustained westerly winds. While Elevated to

potentially Critical meteorological conditions are expected by

afternoon peak heating across portions of the southern High Plains,

fuel receptiveness to fire spread remains mediocre, with fire

weather highlights withheld.
