   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   Locally Elevated fire weather conditions may develop for a couple of
   hours this afternoon across portions of the southern Florida
   peninsula as westerly surface winds near 15 mph, very hot
   temperatures (upper 90s F), and modestly lowered RH values overlap
   areas with at least marginally receptive fuels. However, fire
   weather conditions appear too limited in space and time for an
   Elevated fire weather area. Otherwise, the fire weather forecast
   remains on track.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0203 AM CDT Sat May 18 2024/

   ...Synopsis...
   Mid level ridging will start to build into the central CONUS today
   with a series of troughs moving through the Northwest and northern
   Plains. At this time, dry fuels are concentrated across portions of
   the Southwest and southern High Plains. However, winds will be
   mostly light across this region on Saturday. Some dry and breezy (15
   to 20 mph) conditions are possible across southern Arizona as
   mid-level flow strengthens, but fuels are not dry enough to support
   large fires at this time.
