...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...20z Update...
Model and observational trends continue to suggest widespread
wetting rainfall is likely over much of the central and northern
High Plains late D1/Tuesday into early D2/Wednesday. Thus, despite
strong winds and pockets of lower humidity, the availability of dry
fuels appears limited. See the previous discussion for more details.

...Synopsis...
Strong deep-layer southwesterly flow will overspread the Dakotas,
within the base of a negatively tilted midlevel trough/low moving
northeastward across the northern High Plains. A tight pressure
gradient peripheral to a related surface cyclone over eastern MT
will promote strong post-frontal surface winds across western SD.
While these winds and around 20 percent RH would typically warrant
fire-weather highlights, substantial precipitation over the past
week, and additional expected rainfall on Day 1/Tuesday, limit
confidence in fuel receptiveness.
