Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0158 AM CDT Sat Apr 16 2022

Valid 161200Z - 171200Z

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF WEST-CENTRAL NEW
MEXICO INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL COLORADO...

...Synopsis...
A midlevel trough and acco*panying strong/deep west-southwesterly
flow will advance eastward across the Southwest today, while surface
low pressure develops across the Great Basin.

...Southwest into the Central and Southern Rockies...
Ahead of the approaching midlevel trough, deep boundary-layer mixing
will result in widespread minimum RH of 10-15 percent this
afternoon. At the same time, breezy west-southwesterly surface winds
of 20-25 mph (with higher gusts) will overspread modestly receptive
fuels. The best overlap of strong surface winds and critically low
RH is expected over parts of New Mexico into south-central Colorado,
where Critical highlights are in place. Very dry and breezy
conditions are also expected over Arizona, though fuels are not as
receptive to wildfire-spread at this time.
