Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1132 AM CDT Sun Aug 28 2022

Valid 281700Z - 291200Z

Dry and windy conditions are most likely to occur just ahead of a
cold front in southern Wyoming and western Nebraska. Based on the
current position of the front, the elevated area has been adjusted.
RH is not likely to fall below critical thresholds for very long
within the terrain along the Idaho/Wyoming border. Highlights have
been removed from those areas. Locally critical conditions are most
likely, for brief periods, within the Snake River Plain and in the
lee of the Laramie Range.

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will eject into the northern Plains today,
promoting downslope flow along the higher terrain of the
central/northern Rockies amid a dry boundary layer. In the Plains
states, strong surface lee troughing will occur, with a surface cold
front poised to sweep across the central and northern High Plains.
The net result will be widespread coverage of either dry or windy
conditions across much of the north-central CONUS in the
post-cold-frontal environment. However, the latest guidance
consensus suggests that both dry and windy surface conditions will
overlap within a narrow corridor from the Snake River Plain in
southern Idaho to the Nebraska Sandhills, where Elevated highlights
have been introduced.
