...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns will remain limited for today across the
country. Steady surface pressure falls are noted along the High
Plains as an upper wave migrates from the Pacific Northwest into the
northern Rockies/northern High Plains. This trend will continue for
the next 24 hours as a surface cyclone consolidates over the
Dakotas. An attendant cold front is forecast to push southeast
across the Plains through the day, but downslope flow off the
northern Rockies will modulate temperature reductions and may
support areas of dry/windy conditions (winds gusting up to 30 mph
with 20-30% RH minimums) within the post-frontal regime. Along the
lee of the central and southern Rockies, westerly downslope flow to
the west of a deepening surface trough will support areas of
elevated fire weather conditions across central CO into eastern NM.
Wind speeds up to 15-25 mph are expected, and will likely coincide
with 15-25% RH minimums. However, latest fuel guidance continues to
suggest that fuels across much of the Plains are not receptive,
which will limit fire concerns outside of finer/grassier fuel beds.
