..SYNOPSIS
BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW WILL OVERSPREAD THE CENTRAL CONUS TOMORROW
(THURSDAY), WITH AN EMBEDDED MID-LEVEL TROUGH IMPINGING ON THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS AS THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH (DISCUSSED IN THE
DAY 1 OUTLOOK) APPROACHES THE GREAT LAKES. A SURFACE LOW WILL
QUICKLY DEEPEN WHILE TRAVERSING THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY, RESULTING IN
STRONG WESTERLY ISALLOBARIC SURFACE FLOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HIGH
PLAINS. WHILE 15-25 MPH SUSTAINED WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS SHOULD
BECOME COMMON, RH MAY ONLY DIP TO 25 PERCENT. FURTHERMORE, SEVERAL
AREAS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE PLAINS MAY EXPERIENCE APPRECIABLE
RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS EARLY THURSDAY MORNING, WHICH MAY DAMPEN
FUELS. GIVEN UNCERTAINTIES IN FUEL RECEPTIVENESS TO WILDFIRE SPREAD
AND POTENTIALLY HIGHER RH, FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS HAVE BEEN
WITHHELD THIS OUTLOOK.
