...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN HIGH
PLAINS...

...Synopsis...
Dry and breezy conditions are expected across the southern High
Plains on Wednesday in response to a development of a lee cyclone,
as increasing mid-level flow overspreads the Rockies. Deeply mixed
profiles by the afternoon will yield single-digit relative humidity
amid sustained winds 20 to 25 mph across portions of eastern New
Mexico into the northern Texas Panhandle. Little recent rainfall
across this area has sufficiently dried fuels, with ERCs forecast to
be in the 75th percentile. This will support Critical fire weather
concerns, with broader Elevated fire weather concerns extending into
southeastern Colorado and the western Oklahoma Panhandle.
