...Synopsis...

The western ridge of the past few days will begin to slowly move

east into the central US during the forecast period. This will

result in seasonally weak mid-level flow and a relaxing

surface-pressure gradient across the very dry portions of the

central US. Farther east, across the dry portions of the southeast,

a recent influx in surface moisture ahead of a series of shortwave

troughs have brought bouts of light precipitation, helping to

improve relative humidity percentages above thresholds of concern

for large-scale fire activity.
