FNUS21 KWNS 020650 FWDDY1 Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0150 AM CDT Mon Oct 02 2023 Valid 021200Z - 031200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... An upper low centered over the Great Basin and Southwest is forecast to slowly weaken as it shifts eastward today. As the upper low slowly breaks down, flow aloft will also become increasingly meridional and weaken with time. However, flow aloft will remain enhanced enough to support breezy winds over parts of western NM and southwest CO. Beneath the cold core of the upper low, moderating surface temperatures and increasing humidity are expected over parts of the southwest and central Rockies as mid and low-level moisture move northward. Isolated pockets of dry and breezy conditions may persist over more sheltered areas of the Southwest across western NM and far eastern AZ with winds of 15-25 mph and humidity of 15-25%. However, precipitation chances are expected to increase as a weak cold front and the upper low approach from the west. Sustained elevated fire-weather concerns appear unlikely given the relatively modest temporal and spatial overlap of dry and breezy conditions with dry fuels. ..Lyons.. 10/02/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
