VALID 301200Z - 311200Z
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN
WYOMING...
..SYNOPSIS
AN UPPER RIDGE WILL PERSIST OVER THE CONUS TODAY, WITH AN EMBEDDED
MID-LEVEL IMPULSE POISED TO TRAVERSE THE ROCKIES, SUPPORTING SURFACE
LOW DEVELOPMENT OVER THE PLAINS. GRADIENT/DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL
ENCOURAGE WIDESPREAD 15+ MPH SUSTAINED WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS AMID
15-20 PERCENT RH OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION, AND ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS. ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS HAVE BEEN
MAINTAINED GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF DRY FUELS. CRITICAL HIGHLIGHTS ALSO
REMAIN IN PLACE OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN WYOMING, WHERE SURFACE
WINDS COULD SUSTAIN OVER 25 MPH FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS THIS
AFTERNOON.
ISOLATED HIGH-BASED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS
OF EASTERN ARIZONA INTO WESTERN NEW MEXICO IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE
PASSAGE OF A MID-LEVEL IMPULSE. GIVEN THE EXPECTATION OF A DEEP AND
DRY BOUNDARY LAYER, LIGHTNING OVER DRYING FUELS WITH LITTLE TO NO
RAINFALL ACCUMULATION MAY OCCUR, WARRANTING ISOLATED DRY
THUNDERSTORM HIGHLIGHTS.
