DISCUSSION
A LARGE TROUGH IS FORECAST TO PUSH SOUTH INTO THE PLAINS AND OHIO
RIVER VALLEY TODAY AND TOMORROW. THIS WILL BRING A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING. AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM TODAY, WINDS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TO AROUND 20-25 MPH WITH
GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 MPH. DRY AIR AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S ARE
FORECAST TO ALLOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY TO DROP INTO THE TEENS AND ALLOW
FOR SOME CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY FOR COUNTIES
ALONG THE COLORADO BORDER. WHEN THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH THIS EVENING,
IT MAY LEAD TO ANOTHER SURGE OF WIND GUSTS AROUND 50-60 MPH, BUT
WINDS SHOULD REMAIN FROM THE NORTHWEST.
FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, THE STRONG WINDS ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE AS
HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE AREA IN STAGES AS THE TROUGH PUSHES
THROUGH ADDITIONAL WAVES. FRIDAY SHOULD SEE THE STRONGEST WINDS WITH
GUSTS AROUND 55-75 MPH, WHILE SATURDAY IS FORECAST TO BE MORE AROUND
40-60 MPH. ON TOP OF THE POTENTIAL FOR RAPID FIRE SPREAD, THE WINDS
WILL LIKELY LEAD TO BLOWING DUST, WHICH MAY OBSCURE VISIBILITY OF
FIRES. THE WIND GUSTS ARE NOT FORECAST TO LOWER BELOW 25 MPH UNTIL
SATURDAY EVENING AFTER SUNSET.
