A mid-level trough will traverse the eastern seaboard as a second mid-level trough overspreads the Rockies and ejects into the southern Plains today. Low-level moisture return and/or appreciable rainfall accumulations should limit significant wildfire-spread potential across most locales east of the Rockies. Dry downslope flow should develop over southern New Mexico into Far West Texas as a surface low becomes established over the southern High Plains. 15 mph sustained westerly surface winds amid 10-20 percent RH will overspread dry fuels during the afternoon, warranting the continuation of Elevated highlights. ..Squitieri.. 05/15/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
