VALID 031200Z - 041200Z
..SYNOPSIS
A CORRIDOR OF SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW BETWEEN THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH OVER
THE NORTHWEST AND THE CENTRAL US RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO PRESENT AN
AREA OF GUSTY WINDS AND LOW RHS TO MT/WY AND PORTIONS OF THE GREAT
BASIN TODAY. ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN FARTHER NORTHEAST
ALONG THE AXIS OF DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER CENTRAL WY WITH DRY BUT
GENERALLY SLIGHTLY LESS WINDY CONDITIONS PRESENT OVER ADJACENT
PORTIONS OF MT, NE, AND SD AS WELL. DEEP AND DRY SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
AMID LEE SURFACE TROUGHING WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SURFACE WINDS OF
15-20 MPH COINCIDENT WITH DAYTIME RHS OF 10-20%. SIMILARLY,
SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 15-25 MPH AMID RHS DROPPING AS LOW AS 10-15% ARE
LIKELY ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN NV INTO SOUTHWESTERN UT THIS AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER, RELATIVELY DAMP FUELS WILL MITIGATE AN OTHERWISE CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER EVENT ACROSS THAT REGION, RESULTING IN POTENTIALLY
LOCALIZED ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON.
