...Synopsis...
Within broad western US troughing, the main shortwave is forecast to
continues across the upper Midwest and into southern Canada
weakening overall troughing across the western CONUS. A second and
weaker wave embedded within the residual southwesterly flow will
pass over the central Rockies through the afternoon while a cold
front approaches. While flow aloft is forecast to gradually weaken
through the day, a few hours of gusty winds will likely remain
across NM and the southern High Pains supporting brief elevated fire
weather concerns.
...Northern New Mexico and southern Colorado...
Lingering mid-level flow behind the departing trough should support
gusty low-level winds near and south of a slow moving cold front
across the Four Corners and southern High Plains. Ahead of the
front, area soundings show a warm and well-mixed boundary layer with
RH of 10-20%. With surface winds expected to peak near 15-20 mph
elevated fire weather conditions appear possible through the
afternoon. Fire weather concerns will quickly subside later in the
evening with weakening winds and recovering humidity after the
frontal passage.
