   ...Synopsis...
   Dry and breezy conditions are expected across the southern High
   Plains today in response to development of a lee cyclone,
   as increasing mid-level flow overspreads the Rockies. Deeply mixed
   profiles by the afternoon will yield single-digit relative humidity
   amid sustained winds 20 to 25 mph, across portions of eastern New
   Mexico into the northern Texas Panhandle. Drying conditions and
   lowering relative humidity extend into Oklahoma/Texas during the
   afternoon. This has warranted expansion of the Elevated further east
   into the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles. ERCs are forecast to be in the
   75th percentile. Critical fire weather conditions are still most
   likely across eastern New Mexico into far western Texas, where dry
   conditions will overlap receptive fuels for the longest duration
   this afternoon.
