...Synopsis...

A cold front will move through portions of the Plains today. In the

wake of the front breezy northwesterly winds will occur across much

of the northern/central Plains. RH could become marginally reduced

by the afternoon from western South Dakota into western/central

Nebraska. With some cloud cover lingering into the late morning and

early afternoon, it is not certain how low RH will fall. Values near

20% are possible at least locally. Winds of 15-20 mph are also

possible, though the strongest pressure gradient will be offset from

the diurnal RH minimum. Overall, locally elevated fire weather is

expected.
