...Synopsis...
An upper low will meander over the Southwest as a mid-level trough
amplifies over the eastern U.S. today, with northwest flow aloft
prevailing everywhere east of the Mississippi River. As such,
relatively cool conditions will prevail over much of the CONUS, with
significant wildfire-spread potential expected to be limited over
most locations. One exception may be central and eastern portions of
the Florida Peninsula, where 10-15 mph sustained westerly surface
winds, amid 25-35 percent RH, may overspread dry fuels during the
afternoon, warranting Elevated highlights.

A few other areas may also experience localized conditions favorable
for wildfire growth. First, dry and occasionally breezy conditions
may overlap modestly receptive fuels over parts of southeast Arizona
into far southwestern New Mexico, which may promote locally Elevated
fire concerns during the afternoon. Second, dry northerly surface
winds will overspread the northern Plains behind the cold front,
though any wildfire-spread that materializes should be localized
given marginally receptive fuels.
