   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns appear limited for Tuesday across the country.
   The upper low currently over southern California is forecast to
   gradually shift east across the southwest states over the next 48
   hours. As this occurs, moderately strong mid-level winds will
   overspread much of NM, which will support breezy winds around 15 mph
   by late afternoon in the vicinity of a weak surface trough that is
   forecast to reside across the central portion of the state. Dry
   low-level air emanating out of northern Mexico combined with modest
   wind speeds may allow some areas to reach elevated wind/RH
   thresholds, but the coverage and duration of such conditions appears
   limited compared to prior days. Additionally, the axis of the
   strongest winds/lowest RH will become increasingly displaced from
   the driest fuels located across AZ and far western NM. Across the
   Plains, a strong surface pressure gradient will support another day
   of 15-20 mph winds with afternoon RH values falling into the 20-35%
   range. Localized elevated fire weather conditions are possible, but
   confidence in widespread or persistent elevated conditions is too
   limited for highlights at this time.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0347 PM CST Mon Jan 27 2025

   Valid 291200Z - 041200Z

   Fire weather concerns will remain low in the early part of the
   extended forecast. An upper-low that has remained over the western
   US will eject across the southern Rockies into the Plains
   D3/Wednesday through D4/Thursday, bringing windy conditions but also
   chances for precipitation.

   Towards the weekend, potential for windy/dry conditions will exist
   across portions of the High Plains and Southern Plains as enhanced
   upper-level flow moves across the Rockies. A surface cyclone will
   develop across the southern Plains, with strengthening of a lee
   trough across the High Plains. This pattern will favor periods of
   elevated fire-weather conditions, particularly across southwestern
   and western Texas where freeze cured grasses may support risk for
   fire spread. Elsewhere, marginal fuels and chances for additional
   precipitation should limit the potential for critical conditions.
