...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF FAR EASTERN ARIZONA...NEW
MEXICO...AND SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO...
...Synopsis...
Enhanced midlevel westerly flow will impinge on the central and
southern Rockies on Tuesday, resulting in a deepening lee trough
over the High Plains.
...Southwest into the south-central Rockies and High Plains...
Downslope warming/drying co*bined with diurnal heating will result
in widespread 10-15 percent RH across the Southwest into the
south-central Rockies and High Plains. Here, a tight surface
pressure gradient along the southern periphery of the lee troughing
will favor widespread 20-30 mph sustained westerly surface winds.
These conditions, co*bined with increasingly dry fuels, will support
enhanced fire-weather conditions. While critical meteorological
conditions will be possible into Arizona, fuels are generally not as
receptive to wildfire spread.
...Southern Florida...
Diurnal heating of a dry post-frontal airmass could result in
minimum RH of 20-30 percent over inland areas. However, recent
rainfall and generally light surface winds should mitigate the
fire-weather threat.
