...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
...Southern and central High Plains...
With upper-level high pressure centered over the central US, winds
aloft are forecast to be weak across much of the Plains. While upper
air support is minimal, a weak lee low developing across the central
High Plains may bolster surface winds to near 15 mph through the
afternoon and evening. Temperatures near 100F and surface RH below
20% will support a hot and dry airmass atop dry fuels from ongoing
drought. Thus, a few hours of locally elevated fire weather
conditions will be possible.

...Synopsis...
Overall upper ridging should still dominate the weather pattern
across much of the western and central CONUS tomorrow/Sunday, though
some weakening of the ridge is likely, with modest mid-level
impulses expected to pivot around the upper ridge. Nonetheless,
deep-layer forcing should remain weak across the CONUS (similar to
Day 1), precluding widespread significant wildfire-spread threats,
with some localized exceptions. Similar to Day 1, locally dry and
breezy surface conditions may characterize the periphery of the
upper ridge, from northern California, Pacific Northwest into the
northern Rockies and Plains states. Like Day 1, monsoon-driven
thunderstorms may occur again across the northern Rockies, where a
couple of strikes away from storm cores into dry fuel beds and
acco*panying gusty winds may promote localized wildfire-start
potential.
