   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN HIGH
   PLAINS...

   ...Synopsis...
   A strong mid-level jet streak will round the base of the western
   trough today, with strong lee cyclogenesis resulting across the High
   Plains. Strengthening flow amid very dry conditions will lead to
   Elevated to Critical fire weather concerns across portions of the
   southern High Plains into the central High Plains.

   ...Southern and Central High Plains...
   A deeply mixed air mass is expected to be in be in place by this 
   afternoon across portions of eastern New Mexico into and eastward
   into the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles into southwestern Kansas. In
   these regions, sustained surface winds 20-30 mph will overlap
   afternoon relative humidity reductions to around 5-10 percent. The
   Critical area was expanded further into southwestern Kansas, given
   recent trends. While some spotty Extremely Critical conditions are
   possible, fuels do not yet support inclusion of an Extremely
   Critical area at this time.
