...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF WESTERN NEW MEXICO AND
EASTERN ARIZONA...

...Synopsis...
Within the base of a midlevel trough advancing eastward from the
Great Basin into the central Rockies, moderate deep-layer westerly
flow will overspread the Southwest during the afternoon. In response
to this feature, a lee cyclone will deepen over the central High
Plains.

...Western NM and Eastern AZ...
Deep boundary-layer mixing into the enhanced flow aloft, coupled
with a tightening pressure gradient peripheral to the deepening lee
cyclone, will contribute to an expansive area of single-digit RH and
20 mph sustained westerly surface winds across western NM and
eastern AZ. These dry/windy conditions atop increasingly dry fuels
will lead to critical fire-weather conditions during the afternoon.
