...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
Fire-weather potential across the CONUS is relatively low Friday. In
the wake of the departing upper trough, shortwave ridging is
expected over the southern Plains and Southwest. This will
temporarily slow stronger mid-level flow as a Pacific front shifts
eastward. With only modest flow aloft and at the surface, strong
winds are not expected over the driest fuels of the Southwest.
However, warm temperatures and low RH below 20% will remain likely.
This could support some localized fire-weather risk where westerly
winds could gust to 15 mph closer to the terrain. Otherwise,
increasing surface moisture and recent rainfall will largely
preclude fire-weather concerns Friday outside of localized dry and
breezy conditions over parts of the Midwest. However, this is not
expected to be widespread.
