The Elevated highlights were expanded slightly northward in NM and AZ, where confidence in the overlap of around 20 mph sustained westerly surface winds and 8-10 percent RH atop modestly receptive fuels has increased. For details, see the previous discussion below. ..Weinman.. 05/22/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0122 AM CDT Wed May 22 2024/ ...Synopsis... A deeply mixed air mass is expected across most of NM and portions of eastern AZ this afternoon, where fuels continue to become more receptive, and relatively unidirectional westerly flow will reside in the base of a mid to upper trough.

Some locally enhanced wind speeds may heighten fire spread potential across west central NM, but the duration of these should be limited such that a Critical area is not warranted.
