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.

...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.
