CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY THROUGH MONDAY FOR SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS... .Strong southwest flow aloft crossing the Southern Rockies will induce low surface pressure over the southern High Plains Saturday through Monday. Subsequent tightening of the surface pressure gradient will increase winds area wide from the west- southwest beginning this afternoon. Strongest winds are forecast to occur Sunday and Monday afternoons, with peak gusts around 45 mph over the high terrain, gaps, and east slopes. Very dry air remains in place while winds increase, creating critical fire danger for southern New Mexico and far west Texas. Fuel dryness is near normal for mid-May, but weather conditions will be favorable for rapid drying of fine fuels and increasing ERCs back above seasonal normals through the weekend.
