Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1200 PM CDT Wed Jun 15 2022

Valid 151700Z - 161200Z

Confined the elevated delineation across the Colorado Front Range
closer to the terrain as it appears downslope flow will not continue
that far east into the Plains. Also, expanded the elevated
delineation farther east across northern Nebraska. Fuels are
marginally dry in this region, but critical conditions are already
being observed with sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0203 AM CDT Wed Jun 15 2022/

...Synopsis...
A closed mid/upper-level low will track eastward across parts of
Canada, while a trailing band of strong westerly midlevel flow
crosses the Central Rockies and adjacent High Plains.

...Central Rockies and Adjacent High Plains...
As the strong midlevel westerly flow crosses the central Rockies,
downslope warming/drying will result in 15-20 percent RH over
southeast WY into western NE -- where a swath of 20-30 mph sustained
westerly surface winds are expected. While critical meteorological
conditions are possible here, fuels are only modestly receptive --
precluding a Critical area.

Farther south along the Colorado Front Range, terrain-enhanced
surface winds of 15-20 mph should develop amid 10-15 percent RH,
resulting in a narrow corridor of elevated to spotty critical
fire-weather conditions. Given that fuels continue to dry over the
area, Elevated highlights are warranted.
