FNUS21 KWNS 190717 FWDDY1 Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0217 AM CDT Sun May 19 2024 Valid 191200Z - 201200Z ...Synopsis... Mid-level troughing will amplify across the western CONUS today. Meanwhile, a mid-level speed max will accelerate from the Southwest into the southern Plains. As a result, lee cyclogenesis is anticipated in the central High Plains. This will lead to dry and breezy conditions across much of the central CONUS, but especially across the Southwest and into the southern High Plains. Sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph are expected across eastern New Mexico and perhaps into the TX/OK Panhandles and far southeast Colorado where single digit relative humidity is likely. Fuels across eastern New Mexico and vicinity are only marginally dry after recent rainfall, but will continue to dry during the day. Therefore, with low-end Critical meteorological conditions and marginally dry fuels, an Elevated delineation is warranted. ..Bentley.. 05/19/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
