..SYNOPSIS
UPPER RIDGING WILL GENERALLY PREVAIL OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. AS THE
EAST COAST TROUGH CONTINUES TO PROGRESS FARTHER EAST INTO THE
ATLANTIC, AND A MID-LEVEL CUT-OFF LOW OVERSPREADS NORTHWESTERN
MEXICO TOMORROW (SUNDAY). AS A RESULT, SURFACE TROUGHING WILL
PERSIST OVER THE CENTRAL U.S., WITH SOME HINTS OF APPRECIABLE
MOISTURE RETURN LIKELY OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
A STRONG MID-LEVEL IMPULSE, WITH A 50+ KT 500 MB JET STREAK WILL
CREST THE UPPER RIDGE SUNDAY AFTERNOON, SUPPORTING SURFACE LOW
DEVELOPMENT JUST NORTH OF THE U.S./CANADIAN BORDER. 20-25 MPH
SUSTAINED WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL OVERSPREAD MUCH OF CENTRAL
MONTANA INTO THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. RH MAY ONLY
DIP TO AROUND 30 PERCENT OVER MOST LOCALES THOUGH, WHICH SHOULD
LIMIT THE WILDFIRE-SPREAD POTENTIAL TO SOME DEGREE (HENCE NO
HIGHLIGHTS THIS OUTLOOK). STILL, FUELS ARE BEGINNING TO DRY OVER
THIS REGION GIVEN A LACK OF APPRECIABLE RAINFALL OVER THE PAST FEW
WEEKS, SO LOCALIZED WILDFIRE-SPREAD POTENTIAL IS PLAUSIBLE. ELEVATED
HIGHLIGHTS MAY BE NEEDED IN FUTURE OUTLOOKS IF LOWER RH BECOMES
EVIDENT IN LATER GUIDANCE.
OTHERWISE, A DRY SURFACE AIRMASS SHOULD LINGER OVER THE FLORIDA
PENINSULA, AMID A WEAK SURFACE WIND FIELD, TO CONTINUE PROMOTING
LOCALIZED WILDFIRE POTENTIAL THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
