...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
Between a midlevel ridge centered over eastern AZ/western NM and a
closed midlevel low off the southern CA coast, a belt of moderate
southerly flow will overspread portions of the Desert Southwest into
the southern Great Basin. Here, deep boundary-layer mixing into the
moderate flow aloft will favor locally breezy/gusty
south-southwesterly surface winds and single-digit to lower-teens
RH. As a result, locally elevated fire-weather conditions are
possible over northern AZ, southwestern UT, and southern NV, given
increasingly dry fuels. However, a modest surface pressure gradient
and marginal surface winds limit confidence in an appreciable
fire-weather threat -- precluding Elevated highlights at this time.
