Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0140 AM CDT Mon May 06 2024

Valid 061200Z - 071200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
A potent shortwave trough will pivot through the Southwest this
morning with mid-level winds remaining strong across the southern
Rockies. A deep surface cyclone will develop in the northern High
Plains with a surface trough extending southward along the lee of
the Rockies. Strong mid-level winds will combine with the strong
surface pressure gradient to promote winds of 20+ mph, particularly
in parts of eastern New Mexico. RH during the afternoon will fall to
near 10-15%. Elevated to critical fire weather is expected given dry
fuels present in New Mexico.
