...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.
