Mid-level ridging will rapidly build over the western third of the CONUS Wednesday. As flow aloft is shunted northward, surface winds across much of the Southwest are forecast to weaken while the air mass below remains quite hot.

This along with much weaker winds should limit the potential for dry and breezy conditions over much of the Desert Southwest. While isolated pockets of 10-15 mph surface winds and RH below 15% are possible over the higher terrain in western NM and eastern AZ, coverage and duration appears limited. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
