..SYNOPSIS
WEAK SURFACE LEE TROUGHING IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS
TOMORROW (TUESDAY) BENEATH ZONAL WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. WHILE DRY
SURFACE AIR (I.E. 20-25 PERCENT RH) WILL OVERSPREAD THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS, WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS SHOULD BE GENERALLY TOO
WEAK TO SUPPORT WIDESPREAD WILDFIRE-SPREAD POTENTIAL OVER MOST
LOCALES. ONE EXCEPTION MAY BE PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEBRASKA AND
IMMEDIATE ADJACENT AREAS. HERE THE LATEST GUIDANCE DEPICTS 15-20 MPH
SUSTAINED WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS OVERLAPPING THE 20-25 PERCENT RH
FOR SEVERAL HOURS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, WARRANTING ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS.
