.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0134 AM CDT Wed Oct 09 2024/
...Synopsis...
Large-scale upper ridging will build over most of the CONUS as a
mid-level trough traverses the upper ridge axis along the
U.S./Canada border tomorrow (Thursday). Surface high pressure will
persist across the Interior west and from the Mississippi Valley to
the East Coast, with surface lee troughing and a cold front
progressing across the central and northern Plains states. While
relatively light and variable winds will promote quiescent fire
weather conditions across most of the CONUS, at least locally
dry/windy conditions may occur behind the cold front across the
northern Plains. Short-term model guidance varies considerably on
how dry and windy post-frontal conditions will beco*e, with fire
weather highlights withheld for now. However, the best chance for
dry/windy conditions to develop would be across the Dakotas by
afternoon peak heating. If future guidance trends drier/windier,
Elevated highlights may be needed given dry fuels in place.
