Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

Valid 021200Z - 031200Z

...Synopsis...
Zonal mid-level flow is expected to continue this weekend as the
short-wave trough over the Four Corners moves eastward. A lee low
over southeast Colorado will support gusty winds over parts of the
Southwest. With warm temperatures and limited precipitation,
elevated fire-weather conditions are possible.

...Southwest into parts of NM and SW Texas...
With zonal flow aloft persisting into D2/Sunday, low-level westerly
flow is expected to remain enhanced over much of the Southwest. A
lee low will further bolster southwest surface winds through the
afternoon hours with 15-20 mph gusts likely from parts of eastern
AZ, into NM, and southwest TX. Fuels continue to become more
receptive due to a lack of appreciable rainfall and persistent daily
minimum RH in the low teens and single digits. With another dry and
hot day expected, widespread elevated fire-weather conditions appear
likely. A few hours of locally critical fire-weather conditions are
also possible with winds sustained closer to 20-25 mph. However, the
strongest surface winds are likely to be near the surface low in
eastern NM where recent rainfall has likely tempered fuels somewhat.
This should keep any critical conditions brief and relatively
confined.
