...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



...Synopsis...

Mid-level ridging is forecast to continue building over the

Southwest D2/Sunday ahead of a shortwave trough over the West Coast.

Modest westerly flow aloft may support some breezy downslope winds

in parts of NM and TX ahead of a southward moving cold front.

Widespread fire-weather concerns are not expected, though locally

dry and breezy conditions are possible.



...Eastern New Mexico into Far West TX...

With sub-tropical ridging forecast to build steadily over the

Southwest D2/Sunday, winds aloft are forecast to remain modest over

parts of the southern High Plains. However, very warm temperatures,

and high pressure to the west will favor some locally breezy surface

winds of 15-20 mph across parts of eastern NM into far west TX. Warm

temperatures will support RH of 15-20% during the afternoon. While

the modest surface winds will preclude broader concerns, the dry

conditions and locally breezy winds during the afternoon could

support some localized fire-weather conditions amid dry fuels

D2/Sunday afternoon.
