274 FNUS22 KWNS 270637 FWDDY2 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0136 AM CDT Thu Jun 27 2024 Valid 281200Z - 291200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... An upper-level trough initially within the northern Rockies will eject into the northern/central Plains on Friday. At the surface, a cold front will move into the upper Midwest and push southward into parts of the southern Plains before stalling. ...Central/Southern Wyoming... Strong winds due to the favorable position of the mid-level jet as well as the strong pressure gradient behind the front will promote 15-25 mph winds across the area. RH could fall to 15-20% with perhaps localized 10-15% values by the afternoon. Fuel information and recent fire activity would suggest southeastern Wyoming and nearby vicinity have the driest fuels. Precipitation that occurred Wednesday afternoon/evening along with potential precipitation on Thursday increases uncertainty in how dry fuels will be on Friday. In southwest/south-central Wyoming, fuels are sparse and present fuels do not appear overly dry based on current data. Furthermore, this area could also see some precipitation on Thursday. As impacts of precipitation on fuels become more clear, elevated highlights could be added for southeastern Wyoming. ..Wendt.. 06/27/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
