...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF NEW MEXICO INTO THE
SOUTHERN/CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...

Minor adjustments were made to extend the Elevated delineation into
northwestern New Mexico, where confidence in Elevated fire weather
conditions is high in deterministic and ensemble guidance.
Otherwise, the Critical area remains unchanged. See previous
discussion for more information.

...Synopsis...
A broad trough will develop across much of the western and central
U.S. on Tuesday. Strong flow aloft will remain across the southern
Rockies. A deeper surface cyclone is expected to develop in the
southern High Plains as compared to Monday. The coverage and 20+ mph
winds in New Mexico should be somewhat greater as a result. RH will
once again drop to 10-15% during the afternoon. Elevated to critical
fire weather is once again expected. Dry and breezy conditions will
extend into parts of the southern High Plains and western Kansas,
but fuels appear less receptive in these areas.
