...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

Increasing mid-level westerly flow across the Intermountain West
will promote leeward cyclone development across the central High
Plains through D2/Tuesday. As a result, enhanced downslope winds are
expected from the west-northwest of 15-25 mph within a dry air mass
across portions of southeastern Wyoming, northeastern Colorado and
western Nebraska. Recent guidance from land management agencies
indicate some fuels are still in place for fire spread so elevated
highlights were introduced. Similarly dry southwest flow of 15-25
mph across portions of west Texas are expected but fuels dryness
remains subdued owing to recent widespread, wetting rains.

...Synopsis...
The upper-air pattern will transition toward more zonal flow
tomorrow (Tuesday) as surface high pressure overspreads the eastern
U.S. and a surface cyclone develops over the central Plains.
Isallobaric flow from the cyclone, along with downslope flow, will
support Elevated-equivalent surface conditions along portions of the
central and southern High Plains Tuesday afternoon. Despite the
presence of such dry and breezy conditions, fuel receptiveness is
expected to be quite marginal given recent wetting rainfall,
precluding fire weather highlights this outlook.
