...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
A similar upper-level pattern to Wednesday is expected on Thursday.
Broad cyclonic flow will persist across the West, Plains, and Upper
Midwest. Some amplification of a ridge within the south-central U.S.
is forecast. The southern Great Basin boundary will lift northward
bringing precipitation to more of the central Great Basin.

With a belt of stronger mid-level winds remaining in the Southwest,
another day of dry and breezy conditions are probable in southeast
Arizona into parts of central New Mexico. With another day of drying
on Wednesday, it is possible that fire weather concerns will be
slightly increased on Thursday. Still, winds will be on the marginal
side (mostly around 15 mph). The current expectation is that only
locally elevated conditions will occur.

As thunderstorms shift northward from Wednesday, some activity will
shift into areas that have not had fuel indices reduced by multiple
convective days. However, scattered storms are expected with aided
lift from the boundary and storm motions are not expected to be
fast. This all suggests a primarily wet storm mode and limited
lightning ignition risk.
