...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



...17z Update...



Locally elevated conditions remain possible this afternoon across

portions of northeast New Mexico and portions of the southern High

Plains. A few hours of gusty westerly winds may approach 15-20 mph

overlapped with RH below 20 percent. However, area fuels are not

overly dry, limiting the potential for broader fire weather

concerns. See the previous discussion for additional information.

...Synopsis...

A surface low will deepen in the central High Plains and shift

southward into the southern High Plains today. A cold front will

move through the regions through the day. Surface winds of 15-20 mph

in the central High Plains will occur behind the front. Farther

south, winds will be weaker outside of a few terrain favored

locations. RH of 20-25% is possible in the central High Plains;

however, mid/upper cloud potential does introduce some uncertainty.

Current fuel data generally suggests that fire weather concerns will

remain localized as the broader fuel environment is not overly

receptive at this time.
