Generally zonal mid-level flow will become established over the CONUS in the wake of the trough departing the East Coast D2/Saturday. Increasing flow aloft will support strengthening winds and a deepening low over parts of the Plains. This could allow for some localized fire-weather risk. ...Southern Plains... As flow aloft, and several embedded shortwave troughs, pass over the central Rockies Saturday, a lee low should intensify south/southwesterly flow over parts of the southern High Plains. Mild temperatures and the downslope trajectories should support some overlap of winds greater than 15 mph and RH below 20%. While intermittent and localized elevated conditions may occur, fuel receptiveness is currently too marginal to support robust and widespread wildfire growth potential. ..Lyons.. 01/31/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
