Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0249 PM CDT Tue Aug 27 2024

Valid 281200Z - 291200Z

An Elevated area was added over portions of southern/central Wyoming
with this update. While marginal fuels should largely mitigate the
fire-weather threat (as described below), Critical-caliber winds/RH
(sustained 20-25 mph amid 10-15 percent RH) will still pose some
risk -- especially over any areas that missed out on precipitation
during the last few weeks. For additional details, see the previous
discussion below.

...Synopsis...
A pronounced mid-level trough will traverse the Northern Rockies and
eject into the northern High Plains tomorrow (Wednesday), supporting
robust surface lee troughing across the northern Plains states.
Strong isallobaric flow is thus expected over portions of the
northern and central Rockies, particularly eastern Montana, as well
as central into eastern Wyoming. In both areas, sustained
west-southwesterly surface winds exceeding 20 mph amid 15-25 percent
RH are expected during the afternoon. Such conditions typically
necessitate at least Elevated to perhaps Critical highlights.
However, fuel receptiveness in these regions is marginal at best,
especially considering rainfall over the past week. As such, fire
weather highlights have been withheld this outlook.
