   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF NEW MEXICO INTO THE
   SOUTHERN/CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...

   Minor adjustments were made to extend the Elevated delineation into
   northwestern New Mexico, where confidence in Elevated fire weather
   conditions is high in deterministic and ensemble guidance.
   Otherwise, the Critical area remains unchanged. See previous
   discussion for more information.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0302 AM CDT Mon May 06 2024/

   ...Synopsis...
   A broad trough will develop across much of the western and central
   U.S. on Tuesday. Strong flow aloft will remain across the southern
   Rockies. A deeper surface cyclone is expected to develop in the
   southern High Plains as compared to Monday. The coverage and 20+ mph
   winds in New Mexico should be somewhat greater as a result. RH will
   once again drop to 10-15% during the afternoon. Elevated to critical
   fire weather is once again expected. Dry and breezy conditions will
   extend into parts of the southern High Plains and western Kansas,
   but fuels appear less receptive in these areas.
