   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND THE
   WESTERN OK/TX PANHANDLES....

   ...Synopsis...
   Mid-level flow will strengthen across the Southwest on Saturday as a
   trough deepens and starts to shift east. This strong mid-level flow
   will overspread a deeply mixed airmass across the southern High
   Plains and result in surface winds of 20 to 25 mph and relative
   humidity in the single digits. Dry and windy conditions on Friday
   will dry fuels and increase fuel receptiveness by Saturday with all
   fine fuels likely critically dry across portions of northeast New
   Mexico into the western TX/OK Panhandles.
