CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY... .Upper level ridge will flatten on Saturday and Sunday as an upper level trough races across the Northern Rockies. As a result, the mid to upper level pressure gradient will tighten across the region, orientated from SW to NE inducing SWerly flow aloft. This will ultimately promote daily afternoon/evening occurrences of lee-side low development over the Front Range and sufficient surface troughing across New Mexico. Thus, increasing surface and low-level winds across the area. This coupled with very low Minimum RH values and dry fuels will promote Critical Fire Weather conditions this weekend.
