   ...Synopsis...
   The elongated upper trough will evolve into a closed low over the
   Great Basin on Thursday. Farther east, the primary upper trough will
   move into parts of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. At the surface, a
   cold front will push south into the Southern Plains and cooler air
   will push up against the southern Rockies.

   Given the cooler air pushing into New Mexico, areas with the driest
   fuels will not likely see much in the way of fire weather concerns.
   Some dry and breezy conditions appear possible in parts of Arizona
   into western New Mexico. Here, enhanced mid-level winds and a
   modestly stronger surface pressure gradient will drive winds of
   around 15 mph with locally greater speeds. Fuels in Arizona are
   still in the process of drying out and winds do not appear strong
   enough to support more than a locally elevated threat for western
   New Mexico.

   Valid 091200Z - 151200Z

   A continental air mass and a building surface high will overspread
   the central/southern Plains beyond D2/Wednesday, which will limit
   fire weather concerns for much of the extended. Elsewhere across the
   country, widespread precipitation chances and/or recent rainfall
   will limit fire weather concerns. 

   Continued upper-level troughing over the western US will support
   weak lee troughing across the High Plains and will maintain areas of
   dry/breezy conditions across eastern AZ/southwest NM. This may
   support episodes of Elevated fire weather concerns. Rain chances are
   forecast to increase towards the end of the work week across the
   Four Corners/southern High Plains, which should further limit fire
   potential.
