Within the base of a gradually amplifying large-scale trough over the West, a belt of moderate midlevel westerly flow will overspread the southern Rockies and adjacent High Plains today. In response, a lee cyclone will deepen in the vicinity of northeastern NM. These factors will contribute to dry/breezy downslope flow from eastern NM into the TX Panhandle and South Plains during the afternoon. While a corridor of 20 mph sustained west-southwesterly surface winds are expected amid 15-20 percent RH, unreceptive fuels should limit most fire-weather concerns. East of the lee cyclone, dry/breezy return flow will develop across northwest TX into western OK. Similarly, marginal fuels should limit the wildfire risk. ..Weinman.. 12/02/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
