NO CHANGES, PERIODIC OFFSHORE FLOW REMAINS LIKELY OVER PARTS OF THE

WEAKEN AND RETURN TO ONSHORE INTO D3/WEDNESDAY KEEPING FIRE-WEATHER
CONCERNS LOCALIZED AT BEST. OTHERWISE, DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL

..SYNOPSIS
A MID-LEVEL TROUGH WILL EJECT INTO THE PLAINS STATES TOMORROW
(TUESDAY), RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
OVERSPREADING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES.
MOSTLY QUIESCENT FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF
THE INTERIOR WEST. ONE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION MAY BE THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST COASTLINE, WHERE MODESTLY DRY OFFSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED.
DESPITE THE OFFSHORE FLOW, THE RELATIVELY POOR FUEL RECEPTIVENESS TO
WILDFIRE SPREAD WEST OF THE CASCADES, AND THE MARGINAL NATURE OF THE
EXPECTED DRY/BREEZY CONDITIONS, PRECLUDES ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS THIS
OUTLOOK.
