.Discussion...
Other than spotty elevated fire weather conditions across the
plains this afternoon due to winds around 15 to 25 mph and low
humidity values to 15 percent, critical fire weather conditions
are not expected over the next several days. Thunderstorm chances
increase this evening, however, will remain isolated to widely
scattered with gusty outflow winds the main hazard of concern with
any thunderstorm. A favorable monsoon pattern will develop over
the next several days, helping to keep humidity values elevated,
and winds relatively light. Additionally, this will support
increased chances for more widespread and wetting rains to the
area into the weekend and early next week.
Smoke dispersion is expected to generally be poor to good across
the area on Thursday and Friday.
--- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds ---
