...Synopsis...
Broad mid-level troughing will dominate the Plains states eastward
while weak upper ridging persists across the Interior West today. A
mid-level shortwave trough is expected to pivot around the upper
ridge and lift a monsoonal airmass, promoting high-based
thunderstorm development across portions of the Pacific Northwest by
afternoon. Isolated dry thunderstorm highlights were added to
account for the potential of several strikes occurring away from
storm cores into dry fuel beds. Otherwise, locally Elevated
conditions may acco*pany the post-cold frontal environment across
the central Plains, supporting localized potential for fire growth
wherever dry/occasionally breezy conditions overlap with patchy dry
fuels.
