   ...Synopsis...
   The upper trough will broaden and elongate across much of the CONUS
   on Wednesday. Mid-level winds, though weakening some, will still
   remain across the southern Rockies. The surface low will migrate
   southward into parts of Central Texas and the Rio Grande Valley.
   With time, some colder air will push southward into New Mexico.

   ...Southwest and Trans-Pecos...
   Surface winds of 15-25 mph are expected again across the region.
   Coverage of these winds will likely be less given the weaker
   synoptic features. The area with the highest confidence for stronger
   winds of sufficient duration will be across southern New Mexico into
   the Trans-Pecos. Stronger winds also appear possible in northeast
   New Mexico, but the duration of these winds is not certain. RH will
   fall to 10-15% for most of the region. Elevated to critical fire
   weather will occur for a few hours during the afternoon.

   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.
