Mid-level flow will continue to weaken across the Southwest Thursday, as a mid to upper-level negatively tilted trough progresses east northeastward over the northern Rockies. An associated Pacific cold front will make its way as far south as southwestern UT Thursday morning, and only weak westerly surface winds are expected ahead of it through the afternoon across most of AZ and NM. The exception may be near the Sacramento Mountains of NM, where sustained wind speeds near 15-20 mph are anticipated late in the afternoon/early evening. This is also where single-digit RH will reside. However, confidence is too low to introduce an Elevated area at this time since meteorological fire spread conditions will be brief and fairly isolated. ..Barnes.. 05/29/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
