...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN
PLAINS...

...Synopsis...
An upper-level low is forecast to develop and deepen over the
Dakotas on Saturday with enhanced mid-/low-level flow stretching
from Minnesota southwestward to West Texas.  At the surface, a
strong low pressure system will slowly drift to the north-northeast
across the Dakotas with an extensive cold front/dryline extending
southward bisecting the Plains.

...Portions of the central/southern Plains
The surface cyclone and associated dryline responsible for the
significant wildfire-spread concerns on Friday will drift eastward
on Saturday. By Saturday afternoon, the dryline is expected to mix
east to the I-35 corridor in central Kansas and Oklahoma. Widespread
20+ mph sustained winds concurrent with RH values of 15 percent are
expected to ensue in the post-dryline environment for at least a few
hours Saturday afternoon, from New Mexico into western Kansas and
Oklahoma. As a result, critical fire weather conditions are likely
across the region where dry and windy conditions will overlap dry
fuels.  Adjustments may be made in future updates if appreciable
rainfall occurs on Friday to temper fire-weather concerns for some
locations.
