Valid 211700Z - 221200Z



A passing short wave over the Central Rockies will enhance dry,

downslope flow over the Central High Plains today where minimal

precipitation has fallen. Elevated highlights were extended into

northeastern Colorado where a more receptive fine fuel environment

is still likely.

...Synopsis...

A mid-level trough will impinge on the East Coast as a second trough

traverses the Northern Plains today. Surface lee troughing is

expected across the central High Plains as a mass response to the

passing of the Northern Plains trough, resulting in dry downslope

flow. By afternoon, 15-20 mph sustained southwesterly surface winds

will overlap with 15-20 percent RH over much of the Central High

Plains. Elevated highlights are in place from far northeast New

Mexico into central Nebraska, where fuels are dry.
