...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO...

...Synopsis...
Mid-level flow will start to strengthen on Monday as a subtropical
shortwave trough approaches the region. A very deeply mixed airmass
(near 500mb) will be in place on Monday. Therefore, some of this
stronger mid-level flow should transport to the surface relatively
easily. A large portion of the Southwest and into the central
Rockies will experience Critical meteorological conditions on
Monday. The current Critical outline represents where the driest
fuels are present. Some expansion of this Critical area may be
needed if guidance comes in stronger with winds and/or if fuels dry
significantly in the next 36 hours.

Elsewhere, fire weather concerns remain low at this time due to
moist fuels and high relative humidity.
