An upper ridge will build over the CONUS, with embedded mid-level impulses expected to traverse the ridge through the day today. One impulse will overspread the north-central CONUS, resulting in surface lee troughing and the associated southeastward progression of a cold front over the northern and central Plains. Behind the cold front, dry and occasionally breezy conditions may be expected, especially over the Dakotas during the afternoon. While Elevated equivalent conditions may be met for brief periods behind the cold front, such conditions appear too localized and brief in short-range guidance consensus to introduce fire weather highlights at this time. Elsewhere across most of the CONUS, quiescent fire weather conditions will prevail. Dry and occasionally breezy conditions may be observed over parts of the Great Basin, though these conditions, along with fuel receptiveness, appear too marginal for highlights. ..Squitieri.. 10/10/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
