Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1227 AM CDT Sat May 04 2024

Valid 051200Z - 061200Z

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SOUTHEAST ARIZONA INTO CENTRAL NEW
MEXICO...

...Synopsis...
A stronger trough will approach the Four Corners on Sunday. As this
occurs, a deep surface low will develop in the northern Rockies/High
Plains with a trough extending into the southern High Plains.

...Southwest...
Surface winds will increase through the day as the surface
low/trough deepens. This, in combination with the approach of
stronger mid-level winds during the afternoon, will promote elevated
to critical fire weather from parts of eastern Arizona into much of
central New Mexico. RH of 10-15% will be common with some localized
single digit values possible. Winds of 15-25 mph will also be
possible--higher speeds being more likely in terrain-favored areas.
The eastern extent of the fire weather threat will be determined by
how far west moisture pushes as well as where precipitation falls on
Saturday.
