   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE TRANS PECOS REGION
   OF SOUTHWESTERN TEXAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   A pronounced mid-level trough will traverse the southern Rockies
   today, encouraging surface cyclone development over the southern
   Plains. Dry westerly downslope flow across southeast New Mexico into
   the Trans Pecos region of Texas is expected by afternoon, with
   sustained surface winds reaching 20-25 mph amid 10-15 percent RH.
   Given that very dry fuels are also present over the region, Critical
   highlights have been introduced. 

   Meanwhile, dry southeasterly flow is likely across western portions
   of the Florida Peninsula this afternoon. 10-15 mph sustained wind
   speeds may overlap with 25-35 percent RH for several hours,
   necessitating Elevated highlights given dry fuels.
