...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF THE SOUTHWEST INTO THE
SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...

The previous forecast (see below) remains on track for parts of the
Southwest, with modest eastward extensions made to the Elevated and
Critical areas into western Texas to reflect the latest guidance
consensus. Otherwise, Elevated/locally Critical conditions remain
possible across western portions of the Sacramento Valley, emanating
from downslope flow along the lee of the Klamath Mountains, starting
Friday morning and lasting through much of the afternoon.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1228 AM CDT Thu May 19 2022/

...Synopsis...
A surface low is forecast to deepen across West Texas Friday
afternoon. This will tighten the pressure gradient and result in
windy conditions across the Southwest. In addition, stronger
mid-level flow will also overspread the dry airmass across the
Southwest. Deep mixing is expected which should bring some of this
stronger flow to the surface. Therefore, sustained winds of 20 to 25
mph are expected with relative humidity in the single digits. 

Northerly flow will develop in the northern Sacramento Valley and
adjacent foothills with sustained surface winds of 15 to 25 mph and
relative humidity in the upper teens. Therefore, an Elevated
delineation is warranted, particularly for the foothills where fuels
have started to cure.
