...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
Mid-level ridging over the western third of the CONUS is expected to
keep surface winds weak as flow aloft is moved northward. Beneath
the ridge, the air mass over parts of the Desert Southwest should be
quite hot, though a backdoor front is expected to move westward over
parts of NM. As moisture increases higher RH recoveries and the
potential for isolated thunderstorms should increase over the
southern Rockies/High Plains. A few high-based storms may produce
sporadic dry lightning, though the overlap with the most receptive
fuels is expected to be poor. The increasing moisture along with
much weaker winds should limit the potential for dry and breezy
conditions over much of the Desert Southwest. Isolated pockets of
10-15 mph surface winds and RH below 15% are possible over the
higher terrain in western NM and eastern AZ but, coverage and
duration of any elevated fire-weather conditions appears limited.
