Deep surface low over eastern Colorado will extend a strong pressure gradient southward into New Mexico and west Texas, leading to strong winds area wide during the daytime hours today. West-southwest winds with sustained speeds of 30 to 40 mph and peak gusts around 55 mph combined with very low relative humidity values will lead to critical fire weather conditions and the risk of rapid fire start and spread. Fuel moisture had dried rapidly this month, especially along the desert lowlands, due to preexisting drought status and lack of recent precipitation. Winds subsiding overnight into Friday morning, picking back up again Friday and Saturday afternoons. On Saturday, particularly, there is high confidence much of the Rio Grande Valley, Tularosa Basin, and far West Texas will see critical fire concerns again.
