DISCUSSION
A RED FLAG WARNING IS IN EFFECT TODAY FOR YUMA, DUNDY, AND HITCHCOCK
COUNTIES. WHILE MOST OF THE AREA SHOULD SEE RELATIVE HUMIDITY DROP
INTO THE TEENS DUE TO CONTINUED DRY CONDITIONS, ONLY THE
AFOREMENTIONED AREA IS FORECAST TO BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO A DEEPENING LOW
TO GET WINDS STRONG ENOUGH FOR GUSTS TO AROUND 30 MPH FOR A FEW
HOURS. NEIGHBORING COUNTIES MAY SEE SPORADIC GUSTS TO 30 MPH.
THU-SAT ARE FORECAST TO BE DRY AND WARMER UNDERNEATH AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE. THAT BEING SAID, THE RIDGE IS ALSO FORECAST TO WEAKEN THE
PRESSURE AND HEIGHT GRADIENT, KEEPING WINDS AROUND OR BELOW 25 MPH.
WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR SMALL FEATURES THAT COULD HELP GUSTS
EXCEED 25 MPH, BUT NO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY
FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY.
