...Synopsis...
A progressive mid-level trough moving over the Southern Plains will
rapidly move eastward as shortwave ridging develops over the Rockies
and High Plains in its wake. A second mid-level trough farther west
will begin to approach later this evening and overnight as
increasingly strong westerly flow overspreads the Plains again. The
ridging will initially favor weak surface winds and relatively mild
temperatures through much of the day before the approaching trough
aids in developing a lee cyclone over the central and northern High
Plains. The deepening low and strong westerly winds aloft may
support downslope flow over parts of the Rockies and High Plains
with gusts of 20-30 mph. However, the late arrival of the trough,
poorly timed with the diurnal cycle, will favor relatively poor
overlap with low RH values. This should limit fire-weather concerns
across the CONUS.
