  ...Synopsis...
  Regional fire weather concerns are expected for Sunday across parts
  of the southern High Plains and potentially the northern High
  Plains. Zonal flow across the Rockies is expected to strengthen
  through the weekend as an upper low meanders over the lower CO River
  Valley and weak upper disturbances migrate along the U.S./Canadian
  border. This flow regime should promote lee troughing along the high
  Plains with a corresponding uptick in dry westerly downslope flow
  off the higher terrain. 
  
  ...Southern High Plains...
  Latest guidance hints that surface pressure falls will be regionally
  most pronounced across southeast CO into southwest KS and the OK
  Panhandle region. This will support 15-20 mph southwest winds across
  northeast NM into the OK/TX Panhandles. Dry conditions will already
  be in place in the wake of Friday's frontal passage, so confidence
  is reasonably high in observing RH reductions into the teens to low
  20s. Active fires across the area over the past three days indicate
  that fuels are receptive amid ongoing drought conditions.
  
  ...Northern High Plains...
  As with D1/Saturday, a progressive shortwave trough migrating along
  the International border will support some increase west/northwest
  winds along the northern High Plains Sunday afternoon. However, with
  surface pressure falls more focused across northeast MT, confidence
  in sustained 15-20 mph winds is somewhat lower across eastern WY and
  SD. Regardless, localized elevated fire weather conditions are
  possible as RH values fall to near 20% across a region with
  receptive fuels.
  
  ...Southern California Coast...
  An offshore wind event will likely be ongoing at the start of the
  forecast period and is expected to peak Sunday morning between 14-18
  UTC before gradually abating later in the day. Sustained winds
  between 20-25 mph are expected with gusts as high as 45 mph possible
  within the lee of the coastal terrain. Despite fairly high
  confidence in critical wind speeds, recent fuel analyses show that
  fuels are currently not receptive to fire spread.
