Upper ridging will prevail east of the Rockies while a mid-level trough will impinge on the West Coast tomorrow (Friday). Though some surface troughing may develop across the Southern Plains, high pressure will dominate across most of the CONUS, encouraging dry conditions, but with light or variable winds, limiting widespread significant wildfire-spread concerns. The best chance for localized wildfire-spread conditions to develop would be the Great Basin by afternoon peak heating, where RH will be below 15 percent on a widespread basis. Still, doubts of a stronger surface wind field developing, combined with only modestly receptive fuels, suggest that fire weather highlights are not currently needed. ..Squitieri.. 10/10/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
