...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
An elongated upper-level trough deepens across the Great Lakes into
the Southwest Wednesday, with a broad corridor of stronger mid-level
winds over the Southern Plains. A related cold front stretching
southwestward from the Northeast into TX gradually advances east
through Wednesday afternoon before a marked southward acceleration
takes place overnight across TX. A drying and warming trend
commences Wednesday across the Intermountain West as an upper ridge
pushes into the West Coast.

...Southern New Mexico into West Texas...
Stronger mid-level flow will linger across portions of the Southwest
and TX as a more robust jet core of 75-80 knots shifts into the OH
River Valley. Stronger westerly winds of 15-25 mph south of an
advancing cold front over the TX Panhandle and enhanced downslope
drying should yield 15% RH or less across much of southern NM into
West TX. However, recent rainfall has moderated fuels across this
region, mitigating the overall fire weather threat.
