Valid 301200Z - 311200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

No changes to the ongoing forecast.

Locally elevated fire weather conditions may occur across southern
New Mexico and far West Texas. However, areal coverage should be
rather limited.

Additionally, elevated meteorological fire weather conditions may
occur across southern Wyoming. However, here, fuels should remain
unreceptive to fire starts or rapid fire spread.

...Synopsis...
Mid-level flow will continue to weaken across the Southwest
Thursday, as a mid to upper-level negatively tilted trough
progresses east northeastward over the northern Rockies. An
associated Pacific cold front will make its way as far south as
southwestern UT Thursday morning, and only weak westerly surface
winds are expected ahead of it through the afternoon across most of
AZ and NM. The exception may be near the Sacramento Mountains of NM,
where sustained wind speeds near 15-20 mph are anticipated late in
the afternoon/early evening. This is also where single-digit RH will
reside. However, confidence is too low to introduce an Elevated area
at this time since meteorological fire spread conditions will be
brief and fairly isolated.
