South to southwest surface winds are still expected to increase to
15 to 25 mph across portions of central NM Saturday afternoon as an
upper low impacts the region. Although localized areas of elevated
to critical fire weather conditions will be possible here,
widespread fuels do not appear particularly receptive. Please see

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns will remain low across the CONUS on Saturday
as a cold front brings cooler temperatures and increasing
precipitation chances across much of the central/northern Plains.
Brief periods of Elevated fire weather concerns will be possible
across portions of New Mexico as enhanced mid-level flow rounds the
western US upper low. Fuels across this region remain unsupportive
of large-fire spread at this time with potential for additional
rainfall from thunderstorm activity on Saturday. As such, no areas
were included with this outlook.
