..SYNOPSIS
IN THE WAKE OF THE PROGRESSIVE MID-LEVEL TROUGH MOVING OVER THE
SOUTH PLAINS D1/FRI, SHORTWAVE RIDGING WILL RAPIDLY DEVELOP OVER THE
WESTERN HIGH PLAINS AHEAD OF A SECOND DEEPENING TROUGH FARTHER WEST.
THE RIDGING WILL FAVOR WEAK WINDS AND RELATIVELY MILD TEMPERATURES
THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. THE RIDGE WILL BREAK DOWN AHEAD OF THE
STRENGTHENING MID-LEVEL TROUGH LATE IN THE DAY INTO EARLY D3/SUN.
STRONG WESTERLY WINDS ALOFT MAY SUPPORT DOWNSLOPE FLOW WEST OF A
SURFACE LEE TROUGH OVER PARTS OF THE ROCKIES AND HIGH PLAINS.
HOWEVER, THE TROUGH ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO BE POORLY TIMED WITH THE
DIURNAL CYCLE, SUPPORTING ONLY MODEST SURFACE WINDS AND RELATIVELY
POOR OVERLAP WITH CRITICALLY LOW RH VALUES. THIS SHOULD LARGELY
NEGATE FIRE-WEATHER CONCERNS ACROSS THE CONUS.
