...Synopsis...
A large-scale trough, acco*panied by strong deep-layer
south-southwesterly flow, will overspread the northern/central
Rockies and adjacent High Plains. A related lee cyclone will deepen
near western SD, promoting a tight pressure gradient and 20-25 mph
sustained southerly surface winds (with higher gusts) over portions
of western NE during the afternoon. Here, diurnal heating along the
western edge of the richer boundary-layer moisture plume should
yield 20-30 percent RH. Despite these marginal RH reductions, the
strong/gusty winds will still favor a few hours of elevated
fire-weather conditions, before a cold front and related
precipitation overspread the area during the evening.
