Only minor changes were made to the ongoing forecast.
The elevated region was expanded south and west across portions of
central and western Oklahoma into the northern Texas panhandle.
Here, despite cooler temperatures, a dry atmosphere and full
insolation will allow relative humidity to fall to around 20-25% --
perhaps lower if temperatures end up higher than forecast. Given
gusty north winds, elevated fire weather conditions are likely.
Elsewhere, no changes were made to the ongoing forecast.

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will traverse the Great Lakes area as a surface
cold front moves across the Mississippi/Ohio Valleys and high
pressure ushers in across the central CONUS tomorrow (Sunday).
Behind the cold front, sustained northwesterly surface winds
approaching 15 mph in spots, will coincide with 20-30 percent RH
from the Ohio and Upper Mississippi Valleys into the southern Plains
by afternoon. Fuel receptiveness across these regions range from
modest across the Ohio Valley, to high across the Mississippi Valley
into the Plains, warranting broad Elevated highlights over these
areas.
