...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will traverse the eastern third of the CONUS
today, supporting widespread low-level moisture transport east of
the Mississippi River, where appreciable rainfall accumulations are
possible in spots. Farther west, deep-layer northwesterly flow
behind the aforementioned mid-level trough will encourage downslope
flow across portions of far southern New Mexico into the Trans Pecos
region of Texas. Here, 15 mph sustained northwesterly surface winds
amid 15 percent RH and modestly receptive fuels will support some
potential for wildfire spread during the afternoon, warranting the
maintenance of Elevated highlights.
