   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
   NEW MEXICO INTO FAR WEST TEXAS...

   Clear skies across the southern High Plains is supporting continued
   boundary-layer heating/mixing, which will foster the development of
   critically dry and windy surface conditions through afternoon.
   Therefore, the previous forecast (see below) remains on track.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0151 AM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   In the wake of a departing midlevel shortwave trough, a belt of
   strong midlevel westerly flow will overspread the southern Rockies
   and adjacent High Plains during the afternoon. In the low-levels, a
   weak lee cyclone will migrate southward along the southern High
   Plains.

   ...Central/Southern New Mexico into Far West Texas...
   Deep boundary-layer mixing will extend into the base of the strong
   westerly flow aloft during the afternoon. As a result, 20-25 mph
   sustained westerly surface winds (with higher gusts) will develop
   amid single-digit/lower teens RH and lower/middle 70s temperatures.
   These warm, dry, and windy conditions will promote critical
   fire-weather conditions, given dry/receptive fuels across the area.
