   ...Synopsis...
   A strong mid-level jet streak will round the western trough on
   Saturday, with strong lee cyclogenesis resulting across the High
   Plains. Strengthening flow amid very dry conditions will lead 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 airmass is expected to be in place by Saturday
   afternoon across portions of eastern New Mexico into far
   southeastern Colorado and eastward into the Oklahoma/Texas
   Panhandles. In these regions, sustained surface winds 20-30 mph will
   overlap afternoon relative humidity reductions to around 5-10
   percent. While some spotty Extremely Critical conditions are
   possible, fuels do not yet support inclusion of an Extremely
   Critical area at this time. Conditions will be monitored for higher
   end potential.
