578 FNUS22 KWNS 181903 FWDDY2 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0203 PM CDT Tue Jun 18 2024 Valid 191200Z - 201200Z ...Update... An Elevated area has been added to western/northwestern NM Wednesday to account for breezy sustained southerly surface winds. An increasing pressure gradient within a deepening surface trough over western NM will likely result in speeds exceeding 20 mph for 1-3 hours across this region. These winds will coincide with RH in the low teens to single digits, where at least localized ERC percentiles are reaching critical thresholds. Otherwise, please see the previous discussion below for details pertaining to isolated dry thunderstorms, and easterly flow across Florida. ..Barnes.. 06/18/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0153 AM CDT Tue Jun 18 2024/ ...Synopsis... Moisture along the southwestern periphery of the mid-level ridge will push westward across New Mexico Wednesday. Isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected, with some wetting rains occurring across the eastern half of New Mexico where deeper moisture is expected. Along the edge of this deeper moisture, isolated dry thunderstorms will be possible over portions of west-central and southern New Mexico into far southeastern Arizona during the afternoon and evening. Across northern Florida, easterly surface winds around 15 mph should develop on Wednesday, overlapping relative humidity less than 35-40 percent. This overlap appears very short lived and mainly across far northern Florida and the Panhandle, where less receptive fuels persist. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
