Valid 111200Z - 121200Z



The D2 Elevated was expanded further south and west into central

Kansas and far north-central Oklahoma. Latest guidance shows high

confidence in sustained Elevated conditions in these regions. These

areas have not received very little rainfall in the last 7-14 days,

with 30 day precipitation totals well below normal. Fuel data

indicates fuels in this region have experienced drying as a result

and will likely support fire growth.

...Synopsis...

On Thursday, a deepening cyclone will move into the Great Lakes with

significant wetting rain across much of the eastern CONUS.

Dry/northerly flow is expected in the Plains. Moderate to strong

mid-level flow will overspread this region which will support 20 to

25 mph surface winds and relative humidity around 20 percent. Fuels

have started to dry across southeast Nebraska and northern Kansas

where minimal precipitation has fallen over the past 2 weeks.

Therefore elevated fire weather conditions are expected.
