ZCZC SPCFWDDY2 ALL FNUS22 KWNS 280614 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0114 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024 Valid 291200Z - 301200Z ...Synopsis... Elevated fire weather conditions are expected again on Wednesday across western New Mexico. The southern periphery of an upper-level wave is forecast to shift east into the Four Corners region by Wednesday afternoon. Although the surface mass response across the southern High Plains will be modest, winds should increase into the upper teens by mid afternoon across much of the Four Corners region. Very dry (single-digit RH) conditions will persist across the western half of NM, which should support areas of elevated fire weather conditions. Similar wind speeds and RH minima are expected further north into eastern UT and western CO, but recent fuel analyses suggests fuels are not as receptive as compared to NM, which precludes a northward expansion of the risk area. ..Moore.. 05/28/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
