A mid-level trough will rapidly traverse the West Coast as another upper trough impinges on the Mississippi Valley tomorrow (Saturday). A surface low will move across the Midwest in tandem with the Mississippi Valley upper trough, with secondary surface low development likely over the southern High Plains. Downslope flow is likely over eastern New Mexico into western Texas. However, questions remain regarding how low RH will dip by afternoon peak heating, precluding fire weather highlights this outlook. An upper trough traversing the West Coast will encourage some dry offshore flow across southern California. Though guidance differs on how dry the surface airmass will be, sustained offshore wind speeds may exceed 15 mph, especially in terrain-favored areas, warranting Elevated highlights. ..Squitieri.. 01/10/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
