...Synopsis...
A midlevel jet streak will cross the northern Rockies today,
encouraging lee troughing along the northern/central High Plains.
Over portions of WY, 15-20 mph sustained west-southwesterly surface
winds and 10-15 percent RH will develop in response to the lee
troughing and deep boundary-layer mixing into the enhanced flow
aloft. Given modestly receptive fuels across the area, elevated
fire-weather conditions are expected during the afternoon.

Farther west, breezy southerly surface winds are expected amid 15-20
percent RH across portions of the southern Great Basin -- within the
base of a gradually amplifying large-scale trough. While locally
elevated fire-weather conditions are possible, a lack of stronger
sustained surface winds should limit the overall fire-weather risk.
