...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
The elongated upper trough will evolve into a closed low over the
Great Basin on Thursday. Farther east, the primary upper trough will
move into parts of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. At the surface, a
cold front will push south into the Southern Plains and cooler air
will push up against the southern Rockies.

Given the cooler air pushing into New Mexico, areas with the driest
fuels will not likely see much in the way of fire weather concerns.
Some dry and breezy conditions appear possible in parts of Arizona
into western New Mexico. Here, enhanced mid-level winds and a
modestly stronger surface pressure gradient will drive winds of
around 15 mph with locally greater speeds. Fuels in Arizona are
still in the process of drying out and winds do not appear strong
enough to support more than a locally elevated threat for western
New Mexico.
