...EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SERN
NM...WRN TX...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR MOST OF SRN/ERN NM...WRN TX AND
FAR WRN OK...
...SYNOPSIS...
AHEAD OF AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER TROUGH THAT WILL EJECT NEWD
FROM THE ROCKIES INTO THE PLAINS TODAY...STRONG SFC WINDS COMBINED
WITH LOW RH READINGS WILL LEAD TO EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS OVER PORTIONS OF THE SRN ROCKIES/SRN HIGH PLAINS.
DOWNSTREAM OF THIS UPPER TROUGH...UPPER RIDGING WILL REMAIN OVER THE
SERN STATES PROVIDING FOR DRY CONDITIONS. IN THE WAKE OF THIS
TROUGH...LOW RH READINGS WILL BE PREVALENT OVER THE DESERT
SW...GREAT BASIN AND CA. HOWEVER...GENERALLY WEAK SFC WINDS IN THESE
AREAS WILL PRECLUDE ANY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
...EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA - PORTIONS OF SERN NM...WRN
TX...
PRIMARY CONDITIONS: SUSTAINED SWLY WINDS FROM 35-40 MPH WITH GUSTS
UP TO 50 MPH...MIN RH READINGS FROM 10-15 PERCENT
AHEAD OF A STRONG UPPER TROUGH...MID LEVEL COLD ADVECTION COMBINED
WITH ABOVE NORMAL SFC TEMPERATURES IN THE 90S WILL SUPPORT VERY
STEEP LOW-MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. AHEAD OF A SFC COLD FRONT...SWLY
WINDS WILL INCREASE TO BETWEEN 30-40 MPH ACROSS MOST OF SERN
NM...THE TX PANHANDLE AND WRN PORTIONS OF THE TX SOUTH PLAINS.
ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE SOMEWHAT COOLER THAN YESTERDAY WITH
READINGS MAINLY IN THE LOW-MID 90S...LOW DEWPTS WILL SUPPORT MIN RH
READINGS FROM 10-15 PERCENT. THE JUXTAPOSITION OF THE STRONGEST MID
LEVEL WINDS AND STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL SUPPORT WIND GUSTS
OVER 50 MPH ACROSS THE AREA LEADING TO EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS.
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA - SURROUNDING THE EXTREMELY CRITICAL
OUTLOOK AREA...INCLUDING MOST OF SRN/ERN NM...WRN TX AND FAR WRN
OK...
PRIMARY CONDITIONS: SUSTAINED SWLY WINDS FROM 20-35 MPH WITH GUSTS
OVER 40 MPH...MIN RH READINGS FROM 10-15 PERCENT
SURROUNDING THE EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE AREA...SLIGHTLY WEAKER MID
LEVEL WINDS WILL SUPPORT WEAKER SFC WINDS. HOWEVER...SUSTAINED WINDS
WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS AND COMBINED WITH LOW RH
READINGS FROM 10-15 PERCENT WILL LEAD TO A CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
THREAT. THE ERN EDGE OF THE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER THREAT WILL EXIST
OVER FAR WRN OK BEHIND A SFC DRYLINE. THE WRN EDGE OF THE CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER THREAT WILL EXIST AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT.

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

VALID 061200Z - 071200Z
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR THE SRN GREAT BASIN/HIGH DESERT...
...SYNOPSIS...
ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH DIGGING SEWD INTO THE PAC NW LATE ON DAY ONE
WILL MOVE INTO THE GREAT BASIN/NRN ROCKIES ON DAY 2. AHEAD OF THIS
TROUGH...SWLY WINDS WILL INCREASE OVER THE SRN GREAT BASIN. COMBINED
WITH LOW RH READINGS...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP
OVER THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON HRS. DOWNSTREAM OF THIS
TROUGH...MODERATE WLY MID LEVEL WINDS OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES WILL
SUPPORT GUSTY S-SWLY WINDS OVER THE FRONT RANGE OF ERN CO SWD INTO
WRN TX. HOWEVER...WIND SPEEDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SUFFICIENTLY
STRONG FOR A CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER THREAT IN THIS AREA. ELSEWHERE
ACROSS THE NATION...UPPER RIDGING OVER THE EAST COAST WILL SUPPORT
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS.
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA - SRN NV...SERN CA...SWRN UT AND NWRN
AZ...
PRIMARY CONDITIONS: SUSTAINED SWLY WINDS FROM 20-25 MPH WITH GUSTS
OVER 30 MPH...MIN RH READINGS LESS THAN 15 PERCENT
AHEAD OF ANOTHER STRONG UPPER TROUGH...SWLY WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN
OVER THE GREAT BASIN AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF THE HIGH DESERT.
SUSTAINED WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE ABOVE 20 MPH BY LATE
MORNING...BEFORE LASTING INTO THE EARLY EVENING. COMBINED WITH LOW
RH READINGS /LESS THAN 15 PERCENT/ CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
WILL OCCUR.
...SRN/CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...
IN THE WAKE OF AN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE LOWER PLAINS...WEAK UPPER
RIDGING WILL BE REPLACED BY ZONAL FLOW OVER THE ROCKIES AHEAD OF THE
NEXT WRN TROUGH. INCREASING MID LEVEL FLOW WILL SUPPORT THE
STRENGTHENING OF THE SFC LEE TROUGH OVER THE FRONT RANGE. STEEP
LOW-MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL SUPPORT SUSTAINED AFTERNOON WINDS
AROUND 20 MPH. ALTHOUGH WARMING TEMPERATURES WILL AGAIN SUPPORT MIN
RH READINGS AROUND 15 PERCENT...MARGINAL WIND SPEEDS WILL PRECLUDE A
CRITICAL OUTLOOK ISSUANCE.
