   ...SYNOPSIS...
   UPPER TROUGH WHICH HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WINDY CONDITIONS FOR
   MUCH OF THE WEST THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS WILL FINALLY MOVE INTO THE
   NRN PLAINS BY WED. STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF MT/WY
   TODAY THOUGH IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL EXTEND FROM THE 
   CNTRL DAKOTAS/WRN NEB/SRN UT BY THIS AFTN. MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES
   WILL TEND TO KEEP RH VALUES ABOVE 20 PERCENT...SO A CRITICAL FIRE
   WEATHER AREA WILL NOT BE INCLUDED. HOWEVER...THE STRONG WINDS ACROSS
   THE NRN HIGH PLAINS WILL INCREASE THE THREAT FOR ANY WIND DRIVEN
   FIRES. OFFSHORE FLOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS NRN PORTIONS OF
   CA...INCREASING FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR TODAY.
   
   ...CNTRL AND ERN MT/WY/WRN SD/NEB PANHANDLE...
   SUSTAINED SFC WINDS OF 20-30 MPH WILL DEVELOP IN WAKE OF SFC COLD
   FRONT LOCATED ACROSS CNTRL MT EARLY THIS MORNING. MAX TEMPS WILL
   RANGE FROM THE 60S/70S IN MT AND PORTIONS OF WY...TO UPPER 80S/LOWER
   90S IN CNTRL SD/NEB PANHANDLE. BUT RH VALUES WILL BE ABOVE 20
   PERCENT...WHICH SHOULD LESSEN THE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER THREAT. 
   
   ...NRN CA...
   SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS ORE TODAY...ENHANCING THE
   PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN CA AND ORE. OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BE
   MODERATELY STRONG...WITH SFC WINDS INCREASING INTO THE 15-25 MPH
   RANGE AND MAX TEMPS IN THE 90S.
