   ...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.
