...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF THE SOUTHWEST INTO THE
SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
...Synopsis...
The first in a series of active fire weather days is expected to
unfold across the Southwest into the southern High Plains today. A
broad upper trough will gradually amplify across the western CONUS,
and surface low development will occur over the central High Plains
this afternoon. Gradient flow and downward momentum transport
support widespread 20+ mph sustained westerly surface winds, from
the Nevada/Arizona border into the southern High Plains. 5-15
percent RH will coincide with this strong wind field for several
hours during the afternoon, warranting the introduction of fire
weather highlights. Critical highlights are in place where the
aforementioned surface winds/RH will overlap with critically dry
fuels (i.e. forecast ERCs approaching or exceeding the 90th
percentile).
