...Synopsis...
The upper trough will broaden and elongate across much of the CONUS
on Wednesday. Mid-level winds, though weakening some, will still
remain across the southern Rockies. The surface low will migrate
southward into parts of Central Texas and the Rio Grande Valley.
With time, some colder air will push southward into New Mexico.

...Southwest and Trans-Pecos...
Surface winds of 15-25 mph are expected again across the region.
Coverage of these winds will likely be less given the weaker
synoptic features. The area with the highest confidence for stronger
winds of sufficient duration will be across southern New Mexico into
the Trans-Pecos. Stronger winds also appear possible in northeast
New Mexico, but the duration of these winds is not certain. RH will
fall to 10-15% for most of the region. Elevated to critical fire
weather will occur for a few hours during the afternoon.
