Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0205 AM CDT Sat May 07 2022

Valid 081200Z - 091200Z

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

...Synopsis...
The next and perhaps more potent round in a series of significant
fire weather days will take place tomorrow/Sunday across the
Southwest into the southern High Plains as the western U.S. upper
trough further amplifies and overspreads the Southwest with 60-80 kt
mid-level flow. The surface mass response will be the development of
another cyclone across the southern High Plains, with widespread
25-35 mph sustained westerly surface winds (and higher gusts)
coinciding with 5-15 percent RH tomorrow afternoon. Critical
highlights have been introduced across much of New Mexico into the
southern High Plains, where the very dry/windy conditions will
overlap with critically dry fuels. Given the anomalously dry fuels
amid an exceptional drought and the very strong winds/gusts, at
least locally Extremely Critical conditions are expected. The
Critical highlights introduced this outlook are considered high-end.
An Extremely Critical area may be delineated in future outlooks if a
coherent area of overlapping 30+ mph winds, under 10 percent RH, and
the driest fuels beco*es evident.
