..SYNOPSIS
THE WESTERN RIDGE OF THE PAST FEW DAYS WILL BEGIN TO SLOWLY MOVE
EAST INTO THE CENTRAL US DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD. THIS WILL
RESULT IN SEASONALLY WEAK MID-LEVEL FLOW AND A RELAXING
SURFACE-PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE VERY DRY PORTIONS OF THE
CENTRAL US. FARTHER EAST, ACROSS THE DRY PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST,
A RECENT INFLUX IN SURFACE MOISTURE AHEAD OF A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS HAVE BROUGHT BOUTS OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION, HELPING TO
IMPROVE RELATIVE HUMIDITY PERCENTAGES ABOVE THRESHOLDS OF CONCERN
FOR LARGE-SCALE FIRE ACTIVITY.
