   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0159 AM CDT Mon Mar 31 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   Midlevel westerly flow will gradually strengthen across the
   southern/central Rockies -- well ahead of an amplifying large-scale
   trough over the West. This will promote lee troughing over the High
   Plains, with a modest pressure gradient across southeast CO and much
   of NM. As a result, breezy west-southwesterly surface winds will
   overlap 10-15 percent RH, favoring elevated to locally critical
   fire-weather conditions.
