Relatively weak, quasi-zonal westerly flow aloft is expected over the receptive fuels of the Southwest this afternoon. Most locations will experience wind speeds less than 15 mph. Very localized meteorological fire spread conditions may develop across far southern NV, where sustained south winds will briefly approach or exceed 20 mph late in the afternoon/early evening. A few thunderstorms over western and southern FL today could become a source for ignition due to lightning away from rain cores, where fuels are becoming ever more receptive. The same will be true along and east of the central mountain chain in New Mexico. ..Barnes.. 05/31/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
