Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0132 AM CST Mon Mar 03 2025

Valid 031200Z - 041200Z

...EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN NEW
MEXICO INTO FAR WESTERN TEXAS...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN HIGH
PLAINS...

...Synopsis...
A pronounced mid-level trough will traverse the southern Rockies,
encouraging rapid intensification of a surface low over the central
High Plains. During the afternoon, a dryline will advance eastward
across the southern High Plains, with very strong winds and low RH
overspreading dry fuels in the post-dryline environment, supporting
dangerous, rapid wildfire-spread potential. Surface
west-southwesterly winds will exceed 20 mph and coincide with 15-20
percent RH on a widespread basis across much of the southern High
Plains, with Elevated and Critical highlights maintained. There is
persistence among the consensus in model guidance in showing 30-40
mph sustained west-southwesterly surface winds amid 5-10 percent RH
across portions of eastern New Mexico and Far West Texas. Given near
critically dry fuels, the aforementioned meteorological conditions
may support extreme wildfire behavior/spread, warranting the
continuance of Extremely Critical highlights.
