   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS
   AND SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO...

   ...Synopsis...
   A midlevel low and attendant surface cyclone will advance
   northeastward from the central Plains into the Upper MS Valley. On
   the backside of this system, a belt of strong deep-layer
   west-southwesterly flow will persist across a post-dryline
   environment over southern NM and parts of the southern High Plains.
   This will favor another day of critical fire-weather conditions
   across the region during the afternoon. 

   ...Southern New Mexico and much of the Southern High Plains...
   Along the southwestern periphery of the primary surface cyclone, a
   tight pressure gradient will persist across the area. This, combined
   with boundary-layer mixing into the strong flow aloft, will yield
   20-25 mph sustained west-southwesterly surface winds (with higher
   gusts). At the same time, continued downslope flow amid a dry
   antecedent air mass will contribute to 10-15 percent afternoon RH.
   As a result, critical fire-weather conditions are expected across
   southern NM and much of the southern High Plains, given increasingly
   dry fuels over the area.
