   ...EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SRN NM AND FAR W
   TX......
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SERN AZ...SRN NM AND SWRN TX......
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR LOWER CO RIVER VALLEY......
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR FL......
   
   ...SYNOPSIS...
   AN UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTINUE SLOWLY EWD ACROSS THE SRN ROCKIES AND
   SRN PLAINS...PRODUCING HIGH WINDS AND LOW RH FOR SRN NM AND SW TX.
   NLY FLOW ON THE W SIDE OF THIS UPPER TROUGH WILL ALLOW STRONG NLY
   WINDS TO DEVELOP FOLLOWING A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ACROSS SRN
   NV...SERN CA AND SWRN AZ.
   
   WINDS WILL SUBSIDE ACROSS THE SERN U.S. AS THE HIGH PRESSURE AXIS
   MOVES OVERHEAD. THIS WILL MAINTAIN VERY DRY WEATHER FOR FL WITH
   GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS...ALTHOUGH WINDS COULD APPROACH 15 MPH MAINLY
   NEAR THE COAST.
   
   ...EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA - SRN NM AND FAR W TX......
   
   PRIMARY CONDITIONS: VERY STRONG WINDS AND LOW RH
   
   A STRONG UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION...WITH A VERY WARM
   AND DRY AIR MASS AS WELL OVER SRN NM AND SWRN TX. SUSTAINED SWLY
   WINDS OF 25-35 MPH ARE LIKELY WITH HIGHER GUSTS...ALONG WITH MIN RH
   OF 5-10 PERCENT. A HIGH HAINES INDEX ENVIRONMENT WILL ALSO
   REMAIN...FURTHER ENHANCING THE SEVERITY OF THE FIRE THREAT.
   
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA - SERN AZ...SOUTH CENTRAL NM AND SWRN
   TX......
   
   PRIMARY CONDITIONS: STRONG WINDS AND LOW RH
   
   SURROUNDING THE EXTREME AREA...MIN RH NEAR 15 PERCENT IS LIKELY OVER
   SERN AZ ALONG WITH WINDS OF 20-25 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. FARTHER E
   INTO SWRN TX...MIN RH OF 10-15 PERCENT AND WINDS OF 20-25 MPH WITH
   HIGHER GUSTS ARE LIKELY...AND THE HAINES INDEX SHOULD ONLY BE MDT.
   DRY THUNDERSTORMS MAY ALSO FORM NEAR THE COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN
   AZ/NM...AS WELL AS NEAR THE DRYLINE IN WRN TX.
   
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA - LOWER CO RIVER VALLEY......
   
   PRIMARY CONDITIONS: STRONG NLY WINDS AND LOW RH
   
   NLY WINDS WILL INCREASE QUICKLY ON TUE WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF
   25-35 MPH FOLLOWING A DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE...WHILE A JET MAXIMUM
   AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER TROUGH WILL ALLOW STRONGER WINDS TO
   MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE IN THE AFTERNOON. A VERY DRY AIR MASS WILL
   REMAIN IN PLACE WITH SINGLE DIGIT RH DURING THE AFTERNOON.
   
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA - FLORIDA......
   
   PRIMARY CONDITIONS: LONG DURATIONS OF LOW RH AND ONGOING FIRES
   
   HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OVERHEAD PROVIDING VERY DRY BUT CALM
   CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REACH THE MID 80S
   AREAWIDE...WITH MIN RH OF 20-30 PERCENT. THE LONG DURATION OF LOW RH
   WILL RESULT IN AN ELEVATED FIRE THREAT DURING THE
   AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH LACK OF WIND WILL HELP REDUCE THE TOTAL THREAT.
   
   CLOSER TO THE EAST COAST...A RETURN TO AN ONSHORE FLOW AND AFTERNOON
   SEA BREEZE DEVELOPMENT SHOULD LIMIT DURATION OF CRITICALLY LOW
   CHS...ALTHOUGH WINDS MAY REACH 10 TO 15 MPH.

   DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK  
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0202 AM CDT TUE MAY 13 2008
   
   VALID 141200Z - 151200Z
   
   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
   
   ...SYNOPSIS...
   IN THE EAST...AN UPPER TROUGH WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES
   REGION WITH A SURFACE LOW LOCATED ROUGHLY OVER QUEBEC AND A COLD
   FRONT EXTENDING THROUGH MUCH OF THE APPALACHIANS...SOUTHWESTWARD
   INTO ERN TX. HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE IN THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES
   AHEAD OF A SECOND UPPER LOW...CURRENTLY LOCATED ACROSS THE SWRN
   STATES...THAT IS FORECAST TO EJECT EWD INTO TX...THEN LIFT NEWD
   THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. IN THE WEST...HIGHLY AMPLIFIED UPPER HIGH
   PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE WEST COAST.
   
   ...SWRN TX...
   AS THE UPPER LOW SLOWLY MOVES INTO TX AND EWD...STRONG WLY FLOW WILL
   CONTINUE...MAINLY ACROSS SWRN TX WHERE THE JET AXIS WILL REMAIN THE
   STRONGEST. SEVERAL MODEL FORECASTS SHOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD STILL BE
   WARM...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S...AND RELATIVE HUMIDITIES DROPPING
   INTO THE TEENS. SUSTAINED SURFACE SPEEDS AROUND 25 MPH WITH HIGHER
   GUSTS ARE LIKELY. MAIN LIMITATION TO A CRITICAL AREA DESIGNATION
   WILL BE IMPACT OF TODAYS CONVECTION...AND WHERE MOISTENING OF FUELS
   TAKES PLACE. THESE FACTORS WILL BE REEXAMINED TOMORROW FOR A
   POSSIBLE UPGRADE TO CRITICAL.
