.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1239 AM CST Sun Jan 26 2025/

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns will continue across parts of
eastern/southeastern Arizona and into far western/southwestern New
Mexico for today. 06 UTC surface observations continue to sample a
very dry air mass across the southwestern states with dewpoints
between -15 to 5 F and nocturnal RH values in the single digits to
low teens across much of southern to central AZ. Negligible moisture
return into the region will promote another day of widespread 10-15%
RH minimums. Aloft, an increasingly pronounced upper low along the
central CA coast will gradually shift southward over the next 24
hours, maintaining a broad swath of strong southwesterly winds over
AZ. Surface pressure falls will be concentrated across southern CA
today resulting in weaker pressure gradient winds - generally around
15 mph - co*pared to yesterday/Saturday; however, the deep dry layer
near the surface will facilitate downward mixing of stronger
mid-level winds, resulting in gusts upwards of 25-35 mph by early
afternoon. Recent guidance continues to suggest the windiest
conditions will reside on the northern slopes of the Mogollon Rim as
well as across much of southeast AZ into far southwest NM.
Consequently, confidence in sustained elevated fire weather
conditions remains highest across these regions where fuels remain
receptive amid persistent dry/breezy conditions.
