THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD AGAIN OVER THE WESTERN U.S. BRINGING A
WARMING/DRYING TREND OVER MUCH OF THIS REGION TODAY. IN THE
EAST...AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN WITH THE APPROACH OF AN
UPPER TROUGH OVER THE NRN/CENTRAL PLAINS. WITH THIS UPPER SYSTEM...A
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SWD INTO THE SRN PLAINS. AHEAD OF THIS FRONT A
WARM/MOIST AIRMASS WILL BE PRESENT OVER MUCH OF THE SRN/ERN HALF OF
THE NATION PRECLUDING ANY FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE WWD INTO CENTRAL NM EARLY IN THE PERIOD AIDED
BY OUTFLOW FROM CONVECTION OVER THE SRN HIGH PLAINS LAST NIGHT. THIS
FRONT WILL BRING WITH IT INCREASING LOW-MID LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE
CENTRAL AND WRN MTNS. THE COMBINATION OF INCREASING MOISTURE AND
AMPLE HEATING WILL SUPPORT ISOLATED TO SCT TSTM COVERAGE. ON THE WRN
EDGE OF THIS INCREASING MOISTURE...TSTMS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE

PAC NW. SLY WINDS WILL INCREASE OVER THE NRN GREAT BASIN AS A
RESULT. HOWEVER...WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE GREATER THAN 20 MPH.
CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL NM ON DAY ONE WILL SUPPORT A WWD PUSH OF
LOW-MID LVL MOISTURE INTO FAR ERN AZ EARLY IN THE PERIOD. OVER THE
ERN HALF OF THE NATION...UPPER TROUGHING WILL DEVELOP. AN ASSOCIATED
AREA OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP SWD THROUGH THE PLAINS
LEADING TO A COOLING/DRYING TREND.
...SERN AZ/SWRN NM...
ON THE WRN EDGE OF THE INCREASING LOW-MID LEVEL MOISTURE AIDED BY
CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS ON DAY ONE...ISOLATED-SCT TSTMS ARE ANTICIPATED
TO DEVELOP IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN THE AFTERNOON HRS BEFORE MOVING
SLOWLY SWWD INTO LOWER ELEVATIONS DURING THE EVENING HRS. HIGH CLOUD
BASES WILL SUPPORT MAINLY DRY TSTMS. OVERALL COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN INSUFFICIENT FOR A CRITICAL DRY TSTM THREAT.
...NRN NV...ERN ORE/WRN ID...
SLY WINDS WILL INCREASE WITH INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT OWING TO
APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH OFF THE PAC NW COAST. VERY WARM
TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S/90S WILL SUPPORT MIN RH READINGS FROM 10-15
PERCENT. SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ANTICIPATED TO GENERALLY REMAIN LESS
THAN 20 MPH PRECLUDING A CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK.
