The previous forecast (see below) remains unchanged. ..Squitieri.. 04/22/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0156 AM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024/ ...Synopsis... Breezy/gusty post-frontal winds are expected across portions of the northern and central Plains on Tuesday. Over portions of southern NE and KS, these winds could briefly overlap 25-30 percent RH during the afternoon, given ample boundary-layer heating/drying. As a result, locally/briefly elevated fire-weather conditions are possible. Farther west, midlevel southwesterly flow will develop across the Southwest -- ahead of an approaching large-scale trough. While this will likely support an overlap of breezy surface winds and low RH across the region, fuels are generally not supportive of large-fire spread at this time. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
