...Synopsis...

Deep-layer northwesterly flow will overspread the southern High

Plains as a mid-level trough traverses the Lower Mississippi Valley

today. Dry downslope flow will develop across southeastern New

Mexico into western Texas this afternoon, promoting conditions

favorable for wildfire spread. By afternoon peak heating, 20-25 mph

sustained west-northwesterly surface winds will overlap with 10-15

percent RH for at least a few hours. Given that these Critical

meteorological surface conditions will overlap fuels that are at

least marginally receptive to fire spread, "high-end" Elevated

highlights have been maintained.
