Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
Zonal mid-level flow is expected over much of the US as a broad
low-amplitude trough moves over the central CONUS. Weak ridging is
expected farther south which will force stronger flow aloft to
remain displaced over the northern third of the country. At the
surface, a low will move eastward with the broad trough while a cold
front moves south over much of the Plains. Much cooler temperatures,
higher humidity, and weaker winds are expected within the
post-frontal air mass. The only exception to this may be across far
northeast NM and southern CO where the air mass is expected to
remain drier and could support a few hours of locally elevated
fire-weather concerns. Otherwise, fire-weather concerns appear
unlikely over much of the CONUS today.
