...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SE CA/AZ/WRN NM/SW CO/SE UT...
...SYNOPSIS...
EARLY MORNING WATER VAPOR LOOPS SHOWED LARGE UPPER LOW MOVING INTO
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE DEEPENING AS IT
PROGRESSES EWD ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN TODAY. UNUSUALLY STRONG LARGE
SCALE HEIGHT FALLS /AROUND 150-180 M PER 12 HR/ WILL ACCOMPANY THIS
SYSTEM...AND RESULT IN VERY STRONG SFC CYCLOGENESIS ACROSS THE
PLAINS. SFC COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO EXTEND FROM THE WRN
DAKOTAS/ERN CO THROUGH CNTRL PORTIONS OF AZ BY THIS EVENING WITH A
DRYLINE MIXING EWD ACROSS THE CNTRL PLAINS. EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHWEST TODAY DUE TO EXCESSIVE WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY.
...EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA - ERN AZ/WRN NM...
PRIMARY CONDITIONS: SUSTAINED W/SW WINDS FROM 30-35 MPH WITH GUSTS
UP TO 50 MPH...MIN RH READINGS FROM 5-10 PERCENT
SFC COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF LAS VEGAS NV TO JUST SOUTH
OF SALT LAKE CITY UT EARLY THIS MORNING. EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE
CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP SOUTH AND EAST OF THIS BOUNDARY BY AFTN.
SUSTAINED SFC WINDS OF 30-35 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS ARE FORECAST
ALONG WITH CRITICALLY LOW HUMIDITY VALUES BELOW 10-15 PERCENT. THE
WORST CONDITIONS IN NEW MEXICO WILL BE WEST OF THE DIVIDE. THE WORST
CONDITIONS IN AZ WILL BE ACROSS ECNTRL PORTIONS OF THE STATE...WHERE
HIGH TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 60S TO LOWER 80S. RECENT FIRE
DANGER CLASS OBSERVATIONS ARE HIGH OR VERY HIGH ACROSS THE OUTLOOK
AREA.
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA - SE CA/AZ/WRN NM/SW CO/SE UT...
PRIMARY CONDITIONS: SUSTAINED W/SW WINDS 20-35 MPH WITH HIGHER
GUSTS/MIN RH VALUES BELOW 15 PERCENT/MAX TEMPS IN THE 80S/90S
HIGH TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM THE 60S IN NRN AZ TO 90S IN SRN AZ/SERN
CA IN THE DESERTS. SUSTAINED WINDS WILL NOT BE AS STRONG ACROSS SRN
AZ...BUT THERE WILL BE A THREAT FOR CRITICALLY STRONG WINDS/LOW
HUMIDITY ACROSS MOST OF AZ AND PORTIONS OF SW CO/SE UT THAT ARE
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. FIRE DANGER CLASS OBSERVATIONS ARE IN THE
EXTREME RANGE FOR WRN AZ.
...PLAINS...
VERY STRONG SFC WINDS WILL DEVELOP TODAY AHEAD OF POWERFUL LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE GREAT BASIN. THE MOST DANGEROUS
CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP WEST OF THE DRYLINE...SPECIFICALLY ACROSS
THE HIGH PLAINS OF ERN CO AND NM/WRN PORTIONS OF KS AND NEB AND TX
PANHANDLE. TEMP/DEWPOINT SPREADS WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF 50-60
DEGREES...WITH VERY LOW HUMIDITY VALUES. THERE IS A LOW POTENTIAL
FOR SOME ISOLD TSTMS...SOME WHICH MAY CONTAIN DRY LIGHTNING WHICH
COULD SERVE AS AN IGNITION SOURCE.

CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES FROM THE WRN DAKOTAS INTO
NWRN ONTARIO BY THU AFTN. MID LEVEL JET STREAK WILL ACCOMPANY THIS
UPPER STORM SYSTEM...WITH WINDS RANGING FROM 80 KT OVER NRN NM TO
100+ KT ACROSS THE CNTRL/NRN PLAINS. VERY DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
AT THE SFC WILL MAINTAIN STRONG GRADIENT WINDS ACROSS THE PLAINS.
ALTHOUGH WARM/WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS
OF ERN NM/FAR W TX...IT APPEARS LARGE SCALE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS WILL NOT BE MET ON THU.
...FAR W TX/SE NM...
MAX TEMPS IN THE 80S/90S ARE LIKELY ACROSS THIS AREA...WITH HUMIDITY
VALUES AGAIN DROPPING BELOW 15 PERCENT. SFC WINDS WILL BE
STRONG...WITH GUSTS OVER 25-30 MPH. HOWEVER...THE STRONGER WINDS
