...Synopsis...
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. A backdoor front over the eastern half
of NM will allow for higher RH recoveries and the potential for
isolated thunderstorms over the southern Rockies/High Plains. 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.
