Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

0203 AM CDT Tue Mar 26 2024
Valid 271200Z - 281200Z
...Synopsis...
The western periphery of a mid-level trough will overspread the
southern High Plains tomorrow/Wednesday, encouraging weak surface
low development and deep-layer northwesterly flow over portions of
southeastern New Mexico into western Texas. Dry downslope winds
should occur west of the surface low, promoting some wildfire-spread
potential given modestly receptive fuels. By afternoon peak heating,
northwesterly sustained surface winds of 15-25 mph will coincide
with 10-15 percent RH for at least a few hours Wednesday afternoon.
Since fuel ERCs are only around the 50th percentile, Elevated
highlights have been introduced.
