..NO CRITICAL AREAS
LOCALLY ELEVATED CONDITIONS DUE TO DRY AND BREEZY WESTERLY WINDS ARE
LIKELY IN PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST WYOMING AND PERHAPS ALONG THE
EASTERN FRONT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES THIS AFTERNOON. ADDITIONALLY,
WESTERLY WINDS OF 10-15 MPH WITH MINIMUM RH OF 30-40% ARE LIKELY ON
PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN FLORIDA PENINSULA INTO NORTH FLORIDA AND
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA RESULTING IN LOCALLY ELEVATED CONDITIONS.
OTHERWISE, THE FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK, AND PLEASE SEE THE

..SYNOPSIS
A MID-LEVEL TROUGH WILL EJECT INTO THE ATLANTIC AS RELATIVELY ZONAL
UPPER FLOW (WITH SMALL EMBEDDED IMPULSES) BECOMES ESTABLISHED OVER
THE CENTRAL U.S., AND ANOTHER MID-LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHES THE WEST
COAST TODAY. A SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS,
ENCOURAGING MODEST DOWNSLOPE FLOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
HIGH PLAINS. DESPITE THE STRONGER (15-25 MPH) SUSTAINED WESTERLY
SURFACE WINDS EXPECTED ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO INTO WESTERN TEXAS,
HIGHER RH VALUES WILL MIX EASTWARD WITH THE STRONGER FLOW, DAMPENING
WILDFIRE-SPREAD CONCERNS TO SOME DEGREE. WHILE LOCALIZED
WILDFIRE-SPREAD POTENTIAL IS STILL POSSIBLE, THESE CONDITIONS APPEAR
TOO LIMITED FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS AT THIS
TIME.
