Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

Valid 081200Z - 091200Z

...Synopsis...
Elevated fire-weather highlights have been maintained and expanded
for this afternoon and evening.

...Western ND/SD into Eastern MT...
Relatively dry west-northwesterly surface winds of 15-20 MPH are
forecast over portions of the northern High Plains. Fuels here are
critically dry, with widespread ERC percentiles exceeding the
95th-98th annual percentiles. Some light overnight precipitation
will generally improve relative humidity recovery overnight, and
increasing cloud cover throughout the day may limit some of the
dryness/mixing at the surface, but relative humidity values could
still reach as low as 20-25%. While the relative humidity values may
be on the higher side, breezy winds and exceptionally dry fuels will
warrant at least Elevated highlights across the region.
