...Synopsis...

A midlevel trough will advance east-southeastward from the Midwest

toward the Northeast through the period, while an upper ridge

encompasses much of the West. On the backside of the midlevel

trough, a post-frontal air mass will infiltrate the northern and

central Plains, where breezy/gusty northerly surface winds are

expected. Over portions of southern NE and KS, these winds could

briefly overlap 20-30 percent afternoon RH, favoring locally

elevated fire-weather conditions -- given receptive fuels across the

area. However, these conditions appear too brief and marginal for

Elevated highlights at this time.



Farther west, dry/breezy conditions are expected across the

Southwest during the afternoon. However, fuels are generally not

supportive of large fires at this time.
