Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0250 PM CDT Tue May 28 2024

Valid 291200Z - 301200Z

No changes to ongoing forecast.

Another day of single-digit relative humidity will occur across
portions of the Southwest. This dry air will once again serve as the
backdrop for elevated fire weather conditions. Winds should be less
than on Tuesday, but should be sufficient for elevated fire weather
conditions. The most likely area is portions of western New Mexico
and far eastern Arizona.

...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.
