   ACROSS THE NRN HIGH PLAINS. ALTHOUGH DAMPENED ACROSS THE NRN TIER OF
   STATES...BROAD UPPER RIDGE WILL REMAIN PREVALENT OVER THE LOWER
   TWO-THIRDS OF THE CONUS THROUGH THE PERIOD. ISOLD DRY LIGHTNING
   STRIKES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF ERN ORE/ID/MT ON FAR NRN
   FRINGE OF MONSOON MOISTURE...HOWEVER WET TSTMS WILL BE PREDOMINANT
   ACROSS MAJORITY OF THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION/ERN GREAT BASIN/FOUR
   CORNERS VICINITY.
   
   ...ERN CO/WRN KS/SW NEB...
   HOT/BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL EXIST ACROSS THE CNTRL HIGH PLAINS
   TODAY...WITH TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION AS SFC
   LOW DEEPENS ALONG THE SD/NEB BORDER. SUSTAINED S/SW WINDS OF 15-25
   /WITH HIGHER GUSTS/ WILL BE COMMON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS WRN/CNTRL KS
   INTO SRN NEB. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 90S/LOWER 
   100S. MINIMUM RH VALUES WILL RANGE FROM 15-20 PERCENT ACROSS WRN
   KS/FAR SW NEB...TO 8-12 PERCENT ACROSS THE ERN CO PLAINS.
   ADDITIONALLY...ISOLD HIGH BASED/DRY TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING
   THE LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS OF ERN CO INTO WRN
   NEB AND FAR NW KS.

   WITH PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NW/N THIS
   AFTERNOON ACROSS ERN MT...WITH WINDS BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY GUSTY
