Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST WYOMING...

...Synopsis...
An elongated mid-level jet will extend along the US/Canada border
today. At the surface, a cold front will move through the Plains
with a weak surface low developing in the central Plains tonight.
Ahead of this front, some dry and breezy conditions are expected
from the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandle to the Upper Midwest. Fuels are
moist from central Kansas southward, but north of this region, fuels
have dried out and some threat for large fire exists. The greatest
change to the prior Day 2 fire weather outlook was the addition of
much of the northern Plains across the Dakotas and into far eastern
Montana. Fuels in this region are very dry, and forecast guidance
indicates 15 to 25 mph winds with 15 to 25 percent relative humidity
are possible across much of this region.

Elevated fire weather conditions are also expected across southern
Wyoming where fuels are critically dry and sustained winds of 25 to
30 mph are expected, as mid-level flow strengthens and a deeply
mixed airmass permits some of this stronger flow to reach the
surface. Single-digit relative humidity is also expected across this
region on this afternoon. Most of this region should experience
Elevated fire-weather conditions, with some critical conditions
across portions of south-central and southeast Wyoming where the
Critical delineation is present.
