Elevated conditions amid dry fuels extending into this region by the
afternoon. Otherwise, see previous discussion for more information.

...Synopsis...
Weak surface lee troughing is expected across the High Plains
tomorrow (Tuesday) beneath zonal westerly flow aloft. While dry
surface air (i.e. 20-25 percent RH) will overspread the central and
southern High Plains, westerly surface winds should be generally too
weak to support widespread wildfire-spread potential over most
locales. One exception may be portions of western Nebraska and
immediate adjacent areas. Here the latest guidance depicts 15-20 mph
sustained westerly surface winds overlapping the 20-25 percent RH
for several hours Tuesday afternoon, warranting Elevated highlights.
