Preceding an amplified large-scale trough over the West, a robust midlevel speed maximum will overspread the northern/central Plains, while a related cold front moves slowly eastward across the region. At the tail end of the front, an evolving lee cyclone over southeastern CO and strong midlevel flow across the Front Range will yield dry/breezy downslope conditions across eastern CO during the afternoon. Around 15-20 mph sustained west-southwesterly surface winds and 10-15 percent RH will favor a couple hours of locally elevated fire-weather conditions where any dry fuels exist. Farther east, dry/breezy post-frontal conditions are expected across the Mid-Atlantic region during the afternoon. This may result in locally elevated fire-weather conditions over areas that missed out on substantial precipitation during the last couple weeks. ..Weinman.. 10/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
