...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SOUTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA...MUCH OF
CENTRAL NEBRASKA...AND INTO NORTHERN/NORTHWEST KANSAS....

...Synopsis...
...Central and Northern Plains...
A strong (sub 1000mb) surface cyclone will develop across eastern
Montana on Monday, with strong winds expected across much of the
central and northern Plains. This is due to the tight pressure
gradient between this surface low and the strong area of high
pressure centered over the Tennessee Valley. The strongest winds are
expected from west-central Kansas to southern South Dakota where
sustained winds of 25 to 30 mph are possible. The lowest relative
humidity is also expected in a similar area with sub 20 percent
relative humidity from the Texas Panhandle to central Minnesota. A
Critical area has been added from west-central Kansas to southern
South Dakota where these strongest winds and low relative humidities
overlap the driest fuels.

...Central Nevada into western Utah...
Some troughing may develop in the lee of the Sierra on Wednesday as
a mid-level trough crosses California. The co*bination of some
modest mid-level flow strengthening above a well mixed airmass, and
some tightening of the pressure gradient, may result in 15 to 20 mph
winds across central Nevada and into western Utah. An extended
period of above normal temperatures have dried fuels substantially
in this region recently. Therefore, an Elevated delineation has been
added to address the threat. 

...Gulf Coast...
Some dry and breezy offshore flow is possible across portions of the
Gulf Coast Wednesday with relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent and
surface winds of 10 to 15 mph. The strongest winds are currently
only forecast near the coast where fuels are not as receptive. The
only exception is across central Louisiana where some stronger winds
are possible. However, relative humidity is also not forecast to be
as dry across this region.
