Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0114 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024

Valid 291200Z - 301200Z

...Synopsis...
Elevated fire weather conditions are expected again on Wednesday
across western New Mexico. The southern periphery of an upper-level
wave is forecast to shift east into the Four Corners region by
Wednesday afternoon. Although the surface mass response across the
southern High Plains will be modest, winds should increase into the
upper teens by mid afternoon across much of the Four Corners region.
Very dry (single-digit RH) conditions will persist across the
western half of NM, which should support areas of elevated fire
weather conditions. Similar wind speeds and RH minima are expected
further north into eastern UT and western CO, but recent fuel
analyses suggests fuels are not as receptive as compared to NM,
which precludes a northward expansion of the risk area.
