Broad westerly midlevel flow across the central/southern Rockies will maintain surface lee troughing over the adjacent High Plains. In the lee of the higher terrain in east-central NM, downslope warming/drying amid a modest pressure gradient will yield 15 mph sustained westerly surface winds (with higher gusts) amid 15 percent RH. Given dry fuels here, locally elevated fire-weather conditions are expected during the afternoon. Farther east, strong deep-layer westerly flow within the base of a large-scale trough will overspread a relatively dry air mass over the Mid-Atlantic. This will favor dry/breezy conditions across the region, and locally elevated fire-weather conditions are possible where any dry fuels exist (i.e., areas that missed out on substantial rainfall during the last week). ..Weinman.. 11/13/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
