...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR NORTHEASTERN
ARIZONA...SOUTHEASTERN UTAH...PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEW MEXICO...

...Synopsis...
A secondary shortwave will rotate through the western US trough on
Monday, bringing continued strong southwesterly flow across much of
the desert southwest into the southern High Plains.

Across northeastern Arizona, southeastern Utah, and portions of
western New Mexico, afternoon relative humidity reductions to 10-15
percent will overlap sustained winds around 20 mph. Fuels in this
region are critically dry, supporting maintaining a Critical
delineation across these regions on Monday. Broader Elevated fire
weather concerns are expected across much of Arizona into
southern/central Utah, eastern Nevada, and into western New Mexico
and southern Colorado.

Elevated fire weather concerns are also expected as strong
northwesterly flow at 10-15 mph on the backside of the trough
overlaps relative humidity reductions to 15-20 percent (locally
around 10 percent) within the Sacramento Valley and San Joaquin
Valley in northern/central California. Fuels within this region are
sufficiently dry to support Elevated fire weather concerns.
