Fire weather concerns are expected to abate on Monday across the Four Corners region, though some threat for isolated dry thunderstorms will continue for parts of central AZ to far western NM. A shortwave trough evident in water-vapor imagery over WY/UT is forecast to weaken and stall over the southern High Plains by late Monday. This will favor subtle surface pressure rises across the eastern Great Basin/Four Corners region with relatively weaker low-level winds. Although sustained winds will be modest, deep mixing will promote occasional gusts upwards of 15-25 mph across northern AZ to northwest NM where RH values should fall into the low teens. Transient elevated conditions are possible, but poor deterministic agreement and/or ensemble consensus precluded introducing risk highlights. However, weak orographic ascent along the Mogollon Rim within a deeply-mixed, but weakly buoyant, air mass will support some potential for isolated dry thunderstorms. Given recent dry lightning over the region within a similar thermodynamic environment, isolated dry thunderstorm highlights were maintained and focused along and north of the more prominent terrain features. ..Moore.. 08/10/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
