   ...Synopsis...
   Upper ridging will persist over the CONUS tomorrow (Monday), with
   surface lee troughing continuing over the Plains states. Dry
   downslope flow is expected across the southern High Plains, with
   15-20 percent RH becoming common over most locales as the boundary
   layer mixes Monday afternoon. Guidance consensus depicts a corridor
   of 15+ mph sustained westerly surface winds overlapping the
   aforementioned RH for several hours Monday afternoon across eastern
   New Mexico into the Texas Panhandle. Elevated highlights are
   warranted for these conditions given the presence of dry fuels.

   0437 PM CST Sat Dec 20 2025

   Valid 221200Z - 281200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   Increasing mid to upper-level heights are expected over the central
   and southern CONUS by early next week as a ridge migrates eastward
   over Chihuahua Mexico and into the Southern Plains. This ridge will
   continue to drift eastward through mid to late next week over the
   Gulf, while troughing begins to impact the Pacific Northwest.
   Persistent west to southwest mid-level flow across the Rockies will
   aid in lee troughing throughout next week, and the potential for
   some breezy winds at the surface across the Central and Southern
   High Plains.

   ...Southern High Plains...
   Breezy westerly downslope winds are expected to impact the TX and OK
   Panhandles and east-central NM by Monday/D3. Low critical
   probabilities will remain in the forecast here, though there are
   some indications of only locally critical RH being reached.
   Decreasing surface wind speeds will accompany a decreasing surface
   pressure gradient Tuesday/D4 across this same region. By
   Wednesday/D5, however, increasing downslope flow will return as a
   lee trough deepens. This stronger surface flow will likely be more
   confined to the northwestern/western TX/OK Panhandles and far
   northeastern NM, where low critical probabilities remain in place
   from the previous forecast. In addition, fuels across this landscape
   will become more receptive to fire start/spread with very little to
   no sign of appreciable precipitation and above average
   temperatures/low relative humidity anticipated through the extended
   forecast.
