   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF NEW MEXICO INTO WEST
   TEXAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   A potent shortwave trough will pivot through the Southwest this
   morning with mid-level winds remaining strong across the southern
   Rockies. A deep surface cyclone will develop in the northern High
   Plains with a surface trough extending southward along the lee of
   the Rockies. Strong mid-level winds will combine with the strong
   surface pressure gradient to promote winds of 20+ mph, particularly
   in parts of eastern New Mexico. RH during the afternoon will fall to
   near 10-15%. Elevated to critical fire weather is expected given dry
   fuels present in New Mexico.
