VALID 211200Z - 221200Z
..SOUTHEAST PIEDMONT
DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED
ACROSS PORTIONS IN THE PIEDMONT REGION OF THE VA, CAROLINAS AND
NORTHERN GA TUESDAY. RELATIVE HUMIDITY AS LOW AS 20% AMID DRY FUELS
WILL ALIGN, BUT LIMITING FACTOR WILL CONTINUE TO WIND SPEEDS,
STRUGGLING TO REACH 15 MPH BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. NONETHELESS, A
LOCALLY ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER THREAT WILL EXIST ACROSS THE REGION.
..CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS
DRY, POST-FRONTAL FLOW IS STILL EXPECTED TO SUPPORT AN ELEVATED FIRE
POTENTIAL ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL TX TUESDAY. NORTHEAST WINDS OF AROUND
15 MPH, ALONG WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY DROPPING TO 15% IN SOME AREAS
WILL ALIGN WITH DRY FUELS (ERCS NEAR THE 90TH PERCENTILE) TO PROMOTE
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL TX, WHERE
ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS REMAIN. FARTHER NORTH, ENHANCED NORTH/NORTHWEST
WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT ARE LIKELY
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS. HOWEVER, A LESS RECEPTIVE
FUELSCAPE SHOULD MITIGATE SIGNIFICANT FIRE POTENTIAL IN THIS REGION.

..SYNOPSIS
POST FRONTAL NORTHEASTERLY BREEZES WILL OVERLAP RELATIVE HUMIDITY
REDUCTIONS TO AROUND 20 PERCENT ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH-CENTRAL
TEXAS. THOUGH THIS IS OCCURRING ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE FRONT,
TEMPERATURES WILL STILL REMAIN FAIRLY WARM, WITH FUELS EXCEEDING THE
75TH PERCENTILE FOR DRYNESS GIVEN BELOW NORMAL RAINFALL AND ONGOING
DROUGHT CONDITIONS. AN ELEVATED AREA WAS MAINTAINED WITH THIS
OUTLOOK TO COVER POTENTIAL FOR SOME INCREASED FIRE POTENTIAL.
