...Synopsis...
Fire-weather conditions appear mostly quiescent through the forecast
period, as the potent upper-level cyclone over the central US
quickly moves to the east. Strong westerly flow aloft will remain
over the CONUS. However, surface winds will remain light in the dry,
but relatively cool post-frontal air mass. A few hours of low-end
fire weather conditions are possible from the Trans-Pecos into the
Rio Grand Valley/South Texas, where lingering low humidity and
occasional gusty surface winds are possible through the afternoon.
However, with area fuel moisture near normal and the relatively
limited overlap of dry and breezy conditions, fire-weather concerns
should remain localized.
