Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1032 AM CDT Sun Jun 05 2022

Valid 051700Z - 061200Z

Surface temperatures will climb into the uppers 80s/lower 90s F,
with RH dropping below 15 percent on a widespread basis across
eastern Arizona into New Mexico and southwest Texas this afternoon
given sunny skies and diurnal boundary-layer mixing. The latest
high-resolution guidance consensus depicts 15+ mph sustained
westerly winds developing as far north as central New Mexico,
warranting a northward expansion of Elevated highlights. Elevated to
locally Critical conditions are still expected across southern New
Mexico into southwest Texas by afternoon peak heating, particularly
in terrain-favoring locations. Otherwise, dry and breezy
northeasterly flow across the Carolinas will promote localized
wildfire-spread concerns later this afternoon wherever gusty
conditions and drier fuel beds overlap.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0137 AM CDT Sun Jun 05 2022/

...Synopsis...
Deep westerly flow will continue across the Southwest, where a dry
airmass remains in place. Farther east, dry/breezy northeasterly
low-level flow will overspread the Carolinas on the backside of a
tropical system traversing the western Atlantic.

...Southwest...
As temperatures climb into the 90s to near 100 F, widespread 10-15
percent RH will develop during the afternoon. While the surface
pressure gradient will generally be weak, modestly enhanced westerly
flow within the deepening boundary layer will support 15 mph
westerly surface winds amid the low RH. This could result in
elevated fire-weather conditions over southeast AZ, southern NM, and
the western TX Trans-Pecos -- where fuels are critically dry.
