...CRITICAL TO EXTREME FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ON THURSDAY...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ON SATURDAY...
.Deep southwest flow will increase on Thursday with the passage
of an upper level jet streak. Deep surface low over eastern
Colorado will extend a strong pressure gradient southward into New
Mexico and west Texas, leading to strong winds area wide Thursday
afternoon. West-southwest winds with sustained speeds of 30 to 40
mph and peak gusts around 55 mph combined with very low relative
humidity values will lead to critical fire weather conditions and
the risk of rapid fire start and spread through much of the
daytime hours Thursday. Fuel moisture had dried rapidly this
month, especially along the desert lowlands, due to preexisting
drought status and lack of recent precipitation. Winds subsiding
overnight into Friday morning, likely picking back up again Friday
and Saturday afternoons. On Saturday, particularly, there is high
confidence much of the Rio Grande Valley, Tularosa Basin, and far
West Texas will see critical fire concerns again.
