   ...Synopsis...
   A broad upper trough will encompass the central and western CONUS
   Wednesday. The strongest mid-level flow is expected to extend from
   the Southern Plains through the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes
   regions, and across the Pacific Northwest near the base of mid-level
   cyclone. A deeply mixed air mass will remain present over the Desert
   Southwest, while a cold front dives southward into portions of the
   Southern and High Plains. Further west across portions of NM and AZ,
   sustained westerly surface winds near 15 mph are expected where
   increasingly receptive fuels and single-digit RH will be present.
   Localized wind speeds may briefly approach or exceed 20 mph across
   southern NM Wednesday afternoon, but the probability of this
   occurring for more than 3 hours across a broad region is too low to
   introduce a Critical area at this time.
