.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0159 AM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024/

...Synopsis...
Elevated fire weather conditions will be possible Sunday afternoon
across eastern New Mexico and far western Texas, where a belt of
increased mid-level flow will be in place with weak surface
troughing. This will allow for relative humidity reductions to
around 10-20 percent amid surface winds 10-15 mph (locally as high
as 20 mph). Fuels in this region will likely see drying on D1
Saturday, but overall coverage of any Critical winds should remain
low enough to preclude the need for a Critical delineation at this
time.
