...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns should remain fairly localized for Saturday
along the High Plains. A surface low and an attendant surface trough
are forecast to deepen as they migrate east across the Plains on
Saturday. This will establish a zonal flow regime across much of the
Rockies and High Plains by late morning. Downslope warming/drying
along the CO Front Range and in the lee of the Sangre de Cristo and
Sandia/Manzano Mountains, augmented by diurnal heating, should
promote areas of 15-25% RH as winds increase to 15-20 mph (with
locally drier/windier in terrain-favored locations). Somewhat meager
mid to upper-level winds should confine the strongest surface winds
close to terrain features - with the exception of southeast WY into
adjacent portions of NE/northeast CO where surface gradient winds
will be stronger. This, combined with somewhat marginal fuel status
outside of far northeast NM and southern CO, will limit the coverage
of elevated conditions and the overall fire weather threat.
