...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS...



...Synopsis...

A mid-level impulse will traverse the north-central CONUS today,

encouraging surface troughing across the northern Plains into the

southern High Plains, with a surface cold front poised to surge

southward across the northern Plains during the later half of the

period. Preceding the surface cold front, within the surface

troughing regime, dry and windy conditions are expected across

portions of the northern and central Plains. Over the central

Plains, 15-25 mph west-southwesterly sustained surface winds amid

15-20 percent RH will encourage Elevated wildfire-spread potential

given dry fuels. Across the northern Plains, closer to the stronger

upper support, sustained westerly surface winds may reach 20 mph in

spots, with sustained northwesterly surface winds potentially

exceeding 30 mph behind the cold front. Given dry fine fuels and RH

dipping to at least the 15-25 percent range by afternoon peak

heating, Elevated/Critical highlights have been maintained.
