A robust midlevel trough will move eastward across the northern/central Plains. This will favor another day of breezy southerly surface winds across much of the Great Plains, prior to a related cold front sweeping across the northern/central Plains. Upstream, a deep upper low will track southward across the Pacific Northwest, which will reinforce a larger scale trough over the Northwest and an offshore pressure gradient across southern CA. ...Southern Plains... A tight pressure gradient peripheral to lee troughing over the High Plains will support 15-20 mph sustained southerly surface winds amid 20-30 percent RH during the afternoon. These dry/breezy conditions atop dry fuels will lead to elevated fire-weather conditions. ...Southern CA... In response to the tightened offshore pressure gradient, dry/breezy northeasterly winds are expected across parts of coastal southern CA. Elevated fire-weather conditions are possible where fuels are receptive across the mountains and valleys of eastern Ventura and western Los Angeles Counties, though these conditions appear too localized for highlights at this time. ...Central Plains... Behind the cold front, 20-25 mph sustained west-northwesterly surface winds are expected amid 20 percent RH. While fuels may only be modestly receptive, this may yield a brief period of elevated fire-weather concerns during the afternoon. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
