...Synopsis...
Deep-layer northwesterly flow will overspread the southern High
Plains as a mid-level trough traverses the Lower Mississippi Valley
today. Dry downslope flow will develop across southeastern New
Mexico into western Texas this afternoon, promoting conditions
favorable for wildfire spread. By afternoon peak heating, 20-25 mph
sustained west-northwesterly surface winds will overlap with 10-15
percent RH for at least a few hours. Given that these Critical
meteorological surface conditions will overlap fuels that are at
least marginally receptive to fire spread, "high-end" Elevated
highlights have been maintained.
