Valid 301200Z - 311200Z



...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN

NEW MEXICO INTO FAR WEST TEXAS...



...Synopsis...

In the wake of a departing midlevel shortwave trough, a belt of

strong midlevel westerly flow will overspread the southern Rockies

and adjacent High Plains during the afternoon. In the low-levels, a

weak lee cyclone will migrate southward along the southern High

Plains.



...Central/Southern New Mexico into Far West Texas...

Deep boundary-layer mixing will extend into the base of the strong

westerly flow aloft during the afternoon. As a result, 20-25 mph

sustained westerly surface winds (with higher gusts) will develop

amid single-digit/lower teens RH and lower/middle 70s temperatures.

These warm, dry, and windy conditions will promote critical

fire-weather conditions, given dry/receptive fuels across the area.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0151 AM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025



Valid 311200Z - 011200Z



...Synopsis...

Preceding an amplified large-scale trough over the western CONUS,

midlevel westerly flow will strengthen across the southern/central

Rockies -- promoting lee troughing over the High Plains. A modest

pressure gradient along the southern periphery of the lee trough and

boundary-layer mixing into the enhanced flow aloft will yield

dry/breezy conditions across much of NM into southeast CO during the

afternoon. As a result, elevated to locally critical fire-weather

conditions are expected.
