...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN PLAINS....

...Synopsis...
Very strong winds are in place behind a cold front which is moving
across Montana early this morning. Some sustained winds over 30 mph
have been reported with gusts over 50 mph. As this front moves
southeast, these breezy conditions are expected to continue in the
post-frontal airmass. Poor overnight recoveries are occurring across
the central Plains this morning with some relative humidity less
than 25-30 percent, which is expected to continue through morning.
In the immediate wake of the cold front late this morning and during
the early afternoon, relative humidities are expected to be low
before colder air arrives. Therefore, some critical fire weather
concerns are expected across portions of Nebraska and South Dakota
this afternoon. Farther west, some dry and breezy conditions are
possible in terrain-favored areas of northeast Utah and southwest
Wyoming where an Elevated is in place to cover this threat.
