   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
   NEW MEXICO INTO WESTERN TEXAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   Within the base of a large-scale trough over the West, a midlevel
   west-southwesterly jet streak will cross the southern Rockies and
   adjacent High Plains during the day. At the same time, a lee cyclone
   will persist over the central Plains, while a related dryline
   sharpens over the southern Plains. 

   ...Southern/Eastern New Mexico into Western Texas...
   West of the dryline, strengthening downslope flow will contribute to
   deep boundary-layer mixing, with RH falling into the single digits
   to lower/middle teens. A modest pressure gradient peripheral to the
   lee cyclone, and deep mixing into the strong flow aloft, will favor
   20-25 mph sustained west-southwesterly surface winds (with higher
   gusts). This combination of warm, dry, and windy conditions will
   yield critical fire-weather conditions during the afternoon. 

   ...Mid-Atlantic...
   Along the northwestern periphery of an expansive surface high over
   the western Atlantic, a modest pressure gradient and breezy/gusty
   west-southwesterly surface winds will develop across the
   Mid-Atlantic. Here, temperatures will climb into the upper 70s/lower
   80s F while RH falls to around 30 percent during the afternoon.
   Given dry/receptive fuels and the expectation for minimal
   precipitation across the area tonight, elevated fire-weather
   conditions are expected.
