A mid-level trough will eject into the Northern Plains today as upper ridging builds over the Interior West. A surface cold front trailing the mid-level trough will sweep southward across the northern High Plains while monsoonal mid-level moisture meanders over the central Rockies into parts of the Desert Southwest. While elevated to critically dry and windy conditions will accompany the cold front across portions of southern Wyoming, fuels are too poorly receptive to support significant wildfire-spread potential. The thunderstorms supported by monsoonal moisture across the central Rockies into the Southwest should also be relatively slow moving, wet, and will traverse areas that have received rainfall in previous days. As such, lightning should occur over relatively moist fuels, limiting wildfire ignitions to a degree. ..Squitieri.. 06/28/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
