Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1258 AM CST Fri Jan 18 2019
Valid 181200Z - 191200Z
...Synopsis...
An upper trough is expected to amplify as it moves southeastward
from the southern Rockies into the lower Mississippi Valley today
into tonight. A surface low will move southeastward in conjunction
with the upper trough, while an attendant cold front sweeps through
the southern High Plains.
...Far West TX into the Southern High Plains...
In advance of the cold front, increasing low-level westerly flow
will result in downslope warming/drying across portions of southeast
NM and west TX. Sustained winds of 20-25 mph combined with minimum
RH values near or below 25% will result in a period of elevated fire
weather conditions this afternoon along and ahead of the cold front.
While locally critical meteorological conditions are possible,
generally marginal fuel conditions and limited potential for
critical RH should preclude a more substantial threat.
