A SECOND ELEVATED AREA WAS ADDED OVER PORTIONS OF WESTERN OK, THE
EASTERN TX PANHANDLE, AND LOW ROLLING PLAINS/EASTERN CAP ROCK. HERE,
PREVIOUS FORECAST THINKING WAS THAT THE COMBINATION OF BREEZY
POST-FRONTAL WINDS AND LOW RH WOULD BE TOO TEMPORALLY LIMITED TO
WARRANT ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS. HOWEVER, THE LATEST SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS SHOW 20-25 MPH SUSTAINED NORTHERLY SURFACE WINDS (WITH
HIGHER GUSTS) AND LOWER 20S RH. GIVEN THE EARLY ONSET OF THESE
DRY/WINDY CONDITIONS, THE ELEVATED AREA SEEMS WARRANTED (AND HAS
BEEN CONFINED TO WHERE FUELS APPEAR MOST RECEPTIVE).

..SYNOPSIS
A SHORTWAVE MID-LEVEL TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO AMPLIFY ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN
PERIPHERY OF A LONGWAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS. THIS WILL
PUSH A STRONG COLD FRONT FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS SOUTHEASTWARD TO
THE TEXAS COAST BY 12Z SUNDAY. BEHIND THE FRONT, STRONG SURFACE FLOW
(25-30 MPH) IS EXPECTED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
AND WESTWARD TOWARD THE FRONT RANGE. WITH RH VALUES NEAR 15-20%
EXPECTED AND DRY/CURED GRASSES IN THE REGION, AN ELEVATED FIRE
WEATHER RISK AREA WAS MAINTAINED IN THIS REGION. SOME TRANSIENT FIRE
WEATHER RISK MAY ALSO BE REALIZED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN
TEXAS PANHANDLE, BUT AT THIS TIME, IT APPEARS TOO BRIEF TO WARRANT
THE INTRODUCTION OF ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS REGION.
