...HIGH WIND WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH LATE
MONDAY NIGHT...
.DISCUSSION...Today and tonight...
Near critical fire weather conditions are possible along the urban
corridor this afternoon. Humidities drop between 17-20 percent while
wind gusts peak this afternoon. Wind gusts up to 45 mph could occur
for the mountains and valleys; For the plains, wind gusts up to 50-
55 mph are possible this afternoon and evening. Smoke dispersal
conditions reach very good to excellent across the region today.
Tonight, relative humidities recover above 40 percent in the urban
corridor and above 70 elsewhere.
LONG TERM DISCUSSION...Monday through Thursday...
It will be very windy Monday and Tuesday with lower humidity
across the plains. However, it still not clear how dry
vegetation is due to a wet period in the latter half of April.
At this time, it appears areas over southern Lincoln county
have the greatest threat of critical fire condition both days.
Meanwhile, there will be periods of snow in the mountains
Monday and Tuesday with mainly dry conditions elsewhere.
Temperatures will be slightly below seasonal levels. On
Wednesday it will be mainly dry with decreasing winds. By
Thursday another cool front will move into the area bringing
a chance of precip and cooler temperatures.
