..NO CRITICAL AREAS
NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE GRAPHICAL FORECAST. LOCALLY ELEVATED
CONDITIONS WILL BE LIKELY OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST NEVADA AND
SOUTHEAST OREGON WHERE ABOVE NORMAL SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL
PROMOTE DEEP BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING. THIS WILL MIX SOUTHWEST WINDS OF
10-20 MPH TO THE SURFACE COMBINED WITH RHS OF 15-25%. SIMILARLY,
DEEP MIXING PROMOTED BY WARM TEMPERATURES WILL SUPPORT NORTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT MIXING TO THE SURFACE OVER PORTIONS OF THE HIGH PLAINS.
WHILE RHS OF 18-30% WILL NOT BE QUITE AS LOW OVER THESE AREAS, BRIEF
AND LOCALLY ELEVATED CONDITIONS REMAIN POSSIBLE OVER PORTIONS OF
PORTIONS OF EASTERN WYOMING, SOUTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA, AND MUCH OF THE
NEBRASKA PANHANDLE.
