...Synopsis...

A strong surface low across central Nebraska will weaken as it moves

east today. Despite the weakening, a strong pressure gradient is

expected across much of the Plains and into the southern High

Plains. In addition, a deeply mixed atmosphere is expected beneath

strong mid-level flow. Therefore, 20 to 25 mph winds are expected

with relative humidity in the single digits. An extended period of

dry and windy conditions in the southern High Plains has dried fuels

substantially in this region. As a result, large fires will be

possible today.
