Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1256 AM CDT Wed May 25 2022

Valid 251200Z - 261200Z

...Synopsis...
Northwesterly flow will persist across the Four Corners region into
the southern High Plains for today, maintaining at least regional
fire weather concerns. Early morning surface observations show very
dry conditions (nocturnal RH values in the single digits and teens)
across western NM into eastern AZ, and 00 UTC RAOBs also show
limited boundary-layer moisture. No appreciable moisture recovery is
expected, fostering another day of 5-15% RH values region wide.
Furthermore, active wildfires were noted yesterday across the
region, confirming the presence of critically dry fuels. Winds today
will generally be more benign co*pared to Tuesday as the surface low
over southern TX weakens. However, 20-30 mph flow within the
boundary layer will likely mix down amid strong diurnal heating by
mid afternoon. Sustained winds between 15-20 mph are expected, and
occasional gusts to 30-35 mph are possible (especially for locations
that typically see terrain-enhanced winds). Consequently, areas of
elevated (to briefly critical) fire weather conditions are expected.
